HTF Holo Transferrin Bovine protein

Bovine Holo Transferrin is a glycoprotein of approximately 80 kDa. Applications: Bovine Transferrin is a crucial component for the cultivation of mammalian cells in-vitro.
It is critical for long-term cells growth in-vitro.
Bovine Transferrin is used as detoxificant in media by binding contaminating metal ions. Also, bovine Transferrin is often used as a nutrient in fermentation media for recombinant protein and biopharmaceutical production.
Additional common uses of Bovine Transferrin are molecular weight, affinity purification of anti-human transferrin antibodies and also as receptor mediated transfection of molecules such as DNA, into cells.

TF

Greater than 97.0% as determined by Cellulose Acetate.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Bovine HTF in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

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.

Expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma.
