Biological Activity

[Description]:

Transferrin, a blood-plasma glycoprotein, is a target ligand for transferrin receptor. Transferrins can bind to and mediate the transport of iron[1][2][3].

[Target]

Transferrin receptor[1]

[In Vitro]

Transferrins (0.2, 1 and 5 μM, 30 min) enhances the enzymatic activity of thrombin[2]. Transferrins (0.2, 1 and 5 μM, 30 min) enhances the ability of thrombin and FXIIa to hydrolyze their natural substrates (fibrinogen)[2]. Transferrins can conjugate with cytochrome c, the conjugates can be uptaken by transferrin receptor overexpressing A549 cells, thereby inducing cell death[3].
