Transferrin Protein, Mouse (HEK293, Fc)

Transferrin is an important iron-binding transport protein that combines two Fe(3+) ions with an anion, usually bicarbonate. Its main function is to transport iron from the site of absorption to the site of storage and utilization. Transferrin Protein, Mouse (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant mouse-derived Transferrin protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag. The total length of Transferrin Protein, Mouse (HEK293, Fc) is 697 a.a., with molecular weight of ~102 kDa.

Transferrin, a pivotal iron-binding transport protein, exhibits the capacity to bind two Fe(3+) ions in conjunction with an anion, typically bicarbonate. Its primary responsibility lies in facilitating the transport of iron from absorption sites and heme degradation to locations designated for storage and utilization within the body. Beyond its fundamental role in iron homeostasis, serum transferrin may additionally play a role in promoting cell proliferation. Structured as a monomer, transferrin's multifaceted functions underscore its significance in orchestrating the intricate balance of iron distribution and cellular processes essential for overall physiological well-being.
