Essential to iron homeostasis is the transport of iron by the bilobal protein human serum
transferrin (hTF). Each lobe (N-and C-lobe) of hTF forms a deep cleft which binds a single Fe …

Iron is indispensible for life and essential for such processes as oxygen transport, electron
transfer and DNA synthesis. Transferrin (Tf) is a ubiquitous protein with a central role in iron …

The N-glycans of human serum transferrin produced in Trichopulsia ni cells were analyzed
to examine N-linked oligosaccharide processing in insect cells. Metabolic radiolabeling of …

Transferrin is an essential ingredient used in cell culture media due to its crucial role in
regulating cellular iron uptake, transport, and utilization. It is also a promising drug carrier …

In insects transferrin is known as an iron transporter, an antibiotic agent, a vitellogenin, and
a juvenile hormone regulated protein. Here, a novel functional role for insect transferrin as …

Transferrin and ferritin are iron-binding proteins involved in transport and storage of iron as
part of iron metabolism. Here, we describe the cDNA cloning and characterization of …

One novel approach for the biological delivery of peptide drugs is to incorporate the
sequence of the peptide into the structure of a natural transport protein, such as human …

Attachment of a hexa-His tag is a common strategy in recombinant protein production. The
use of such a tag greatly simplifies the purification of the protein from the complex mixture of …

A bi-cistronic baculovirus-insect/larval system containing a polyhedron promoter, an internal
ribosome entry site (IRES), and an egfp gene was developed as a cost-effective platform for …

Human serum transferrin (hTf) is the major iron‐binding protein in human plasma, having a
vital role in iron transport. Additionally, hTf has many other uses including antimicrobial …
