Transferrin Receptor-2 Definition
Human transferrin protein (698 aa, 77 kDa precursor) is encoded by the human transferrin (TF) gene. The protein is a serum beta-globulin glycoprotein that binds one ferric iron atom to homologous C- and N-terminal domains. Transferrin transports iron from the intestine, reticuloendothelial system, and liver parenchyma to all proliferating cells.
