Melanotransferrin/CD228 Protein, Human (352a.a, HEK293, His)

Melanotransferrin, or CD228, is vital for cellular iron uptake, binding a single iron atom per subunit. The protein is involved in internalization and recycling to the cell membrane, with additional potential versatility in zinc binding. Melanotransferrin/CD228 Protein, Human (349a.a, HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived Melanotransferrin/CD228 protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-His labeled tag.

Description

Melanotransferrin, or CD228, is vital for cellular iron uptake, binding a single iron atom per subunit. The protein is involved in internalization and recycling to the cell membrane, with additional potential versatility in zinc binding. Melanotransferrin/CD228 Protein, Human (349a.a, HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived Melanotransferrin/CD228 protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-His labeled tag.

Background

Melanotransferrin, also known as CD228, plays a crucial role in cellular iron uptake by binding a single atom of iron per subunit. The protein is implicated in the internalization and subsequent recycling back to the cell membrane. Notably, melanotransferrin exhibits the capacity to bind zinc, suggesting potential versatility in metal ion interactions.
