QuicKey Pro Rat TF (Transferrin) ELISA Kit

Transferrin(TF) is also named as Beta-1 metal-binding globulin,Siderophilin and belongs to the transferrin family. It is a bilobal iron-binding protein that plays the crucial role of binding ferric iron and keeping it in solution,thereby controlling the levels of this important metal. Serum transferrin may have a further role in stimulating cell proliferation.Gene AliasTfGene ID24825Uniport IDP12346Protein AliasTfResearch AreaCardiovascular,Signal Transduction Protein function: Transferrins are iron binding transport proteins which can bind two Fe(3+) ions in association with the binding of an anion, usually bicarbonate. It is responsible for the transport of iron from sites of absorption and heme degradation to those of storage and utilization. Serum transferrin may also have a further role in stimulating cell proliferation. [The UniProt Consortium]
