Transferrins

A group of iron-binding proteins that tightly bind two ferrate ions along with two carbonate ions. They are found in the bodily fluids of vertebrates where they act as transport and storage molecules for iron.

Infections 01/01/1987 - "Transferrins and defence against infection." 01/01/2020 - "Our in vivo work, together with accumulating in vitro studies, supports the immune role of insect transferrins against infections via an iron withholding strategy." 09/01/2015 - "We also observed strong upregulation of the insect iron-binding proteins, transferrins, during infection. " 03/01/2012 - "Future studies in Tsf1 as well as the other insect transferrins that bind iron are warranted because of the roles of transferrin in preventing oxidative stress, enhancing survival to infections and delivering iron to eggs for development. " 11/01/1988 - "The importance of the transferrins, of haemopexin, of haptoglobin and of lactoferrin for the defense of infections is demonstrated."
2.	Hepatitis E 08/21/2010 - "Phylogenetic trees of 24 transferrins and 48 Hepatitis E viruses reconstructed at word length 6 are in good agreements with previous study, it shows that our method is efficient and powerful."

5.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 02/01/2022 - "On the basis of the ideal biocompatibility of the IGTCDs with a cell survival rate of over 85%, even at a high concentration (500 μg ml-1), the IGTCDs, which were coupled substances present within the organism, glucose oxidase and transferrins, showed an obvious inhibitory effect on the growth of tumor cells, and the survival rate of the C6 cells was only 28.10% at 300 μg ml-1. " 07/06/2017 - "Moreover, the Au(en)QCs can be surface-encapsulated by transferrins (Tf) to create TfAu(en)QCs as a multipurpose drug carrier owing to numerous merits, which include cancer-selective biolabeling, high loading/release efficiency, high activity against drug-resistant tumor cells, low toxicity to normal cells, and physiological stability against biothiols, e.g., glutathiones.
