Ltf - lactotransferrin Gene

Predicted to enable several functions, including cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity; heparin binding activity; and lipopolysaccharide binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to Other organism; negative regulation of hydrolase activity; and regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cell surface and specific granule. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in endosome; extracellular space; and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in candidiasis; lung non-small cell carcinoma; and renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human LTF (lactotransferrin).
