Application Note: Human Apo Transferrin from human serum was lyophilized from 0.2M ammonium bicarbonate for use in cell culture and assays. Transferrin has been tested in SDS-Page and is also suitable for use as antigen or ligand in immunochemical reactions, as a control or standard in assays, for conjugation and most other immunological methods requiring highly purified proteins.

Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: Human transferrin was prepared from normal serum by a multi-step process which includes delipidation and selective precipitation followed by extensive dialysis. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Human Transferrin and anti-Human Serum.
Background: Human transferrin is encoded by the TF gene and is an iron-binding blood plasma glycoprotein that controls the level of free iron in biological fluids. Human transferrin binds iron very tightly but reversibly. Human transferrin is the most important iron pool in mammals. Human transferrin has a molecular weight of around 80 kDa and contains 2 specific high-affinity Fe(III) binding sites. The affinity of Human transferrin for Fe(III) is extremely high but decreases progressively with decreasing pH below neutrality.
