Transferrin Protein, Pig (HEK293, hFc)

Transferrin is an important iron-binding transport protein that binds two Fe(3+) ions, usually with anions such as bicarbonate. Crucially, it transports iron from the site of absorption and heme degradation to the site of storage and utilization. Transferrin Protein, Pig (HEK293, hFc) is the recombinant pig-derived Transferrin protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag.

Transferrins, as iron-binding transport proteins, exhibit the capability to bind two Fe(3+) ions, often in conjunction with the binding of an anion, typically bicarbonate. Functionally, transferrin plays a crucial role in transporting iron from sites of absorption and heme degradation to locations dedicated to storage and utilization within the body. Beyond its primary involvement in iron homeostasis, serum transferrin may play an additional role in stimulating cell proliferation. Structured as a monomer, transferrin's versatility underscores its significance in orchestrating the intricate processes of iron transport and cellular regulation, contributing to essential physiological functions within the organism.
