Optiferrin(R)

Product Description: Optiferrin(R) is recombinant human transferrin that is completely blood-free. Optiferrin's performance is equivalent to human holo transferrin in cell culture and offers significant regulatory advantages due to its safety and consistency. Optiferrin is suitable for a broad range of cell types that include stem, primary, and bioproduction cells. Advantages: Manufactured in the United States, in a tertiary-level, animal component-free, ISO 9001:2015 certified facility. Raw materials, manufacturing equipment, and packaging is certified animal-free. Host manufacturing system is of non-animal and non-human source. Complete supply and manufacturing chain is owned and operated by InVitria. Supplied as a lyophilized powder. 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]
