Biological Activity

Description

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, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived Transferrin protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-10*His labeled tag.

Background

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.

Verified Bioactivity

1. Measured by its ability to inhibit proliferation of A549 cells. The ED50 for this effect is 187.3 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity is 5339.028 U/mg.
2. Measured in a serum-free cell proliferation assay using MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 15-150ng/mL.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
