Transferrin is an important protein that transports iron in vertebrate serum. It interacts with a specific membrane receptor, CD71, to donate iron to cells. Transferrin is essential for most cells in tissue culture, often referred to as a growth factor. Cells express high numbers of transferrin receptors during proliferation, and the binding of transferrin is necessary for DNA synthesis. Transferrin also has additional functions beyond iron transport and acts as a cytokine. Bovine transferrin is critical for the cultivation of mammalian cells in vitro and is used as a detoxificant to remove metal ion contaminants in media. It is also commonly used as a nutrient in fermentation media for recombinant protein and biopharmaceutical production. Bovine transferrin has other applications, such as its use in affinity purification and as a tool for receptor-mediated transfection of molecules into cells.

Product Description

Bovine Apo Transferrin is a protein derived from bovine (cow) milk that plays a vital role in iron transport and regulation. Belonging to the transferrin family, this protein acts as a carrier molecule for iron ions in the bloodstream. With a molecular weight of approximately 77 kDa, Bovine Apo Transferrin effectively binds to iron, facilitating its transport to cells and tissues throughout the body. Its significance lies in its ability to maintain iron homeostasis, ensuring proper functioning of various biological processes.
