The membrane transferrin receptor-mediated endocytosis or internalization of the complex
of transferrin bound iron and the transferrin receptor is the major route of cellular iron uptake …

Since transferrin was discovered more than half a century ago, a considerable effort has
been made towards understanding tranferrin‐mediated iron uptake. However, it was not …

BACKGROUND: The iron transport protein of the blood plasma, transferrin, is maintained
only with about 30% of its capacity to bind Fe3+ ions; this leaves the protein the potential …

Abstract Aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In) are three essential elements in group IIIA of
the periodic table, which all share similar chemical properties and are also vital in many …

Group 13 cations exhibit an essentially similar chemical behavior in aqueous solution.
Under physiological conditions these cations exist as metal complexes. They are known to …

Equilibrium constants have been determined for the binding of In3+ to the two specific metal-
binding sites of human serum transferrin. Nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) was used as a …

2, 2′, 3, 4-Tetrahydroxy-3′, 5′-disulphoazobenzene (tetrahydroxyazon 2S) has been
synthesized for the first time. This reagent has been used for the spectrophotometric …

Transferrin (Tf) receptor expression is up-regulated on tumour cells. The human serum iron
transport protein transferrin (Tf) can bind to many metals including gallium and cobalt …

Transferrin is the serum iron transport protein in a wide variety of species. Its normal function
is to transport iron through the blood between sites of uptake, utilization and storage. The …
