Abstract Significance: Lactoferrin (Lf) is a nonheme iron-binding glycoprotein strongly
expressed in human and bovine milk and it plays many functions during infancy such as iron …

The urinary tract functions in close proximity to the outside environment, yet must remain free
of microbial colonization to avoid disease. The mechanisms for establishing an antimicrobial …

This review discusses the biological properties of the glycoprotein lactoferrin. Lactoferrin has
been identified in secretions from exocrine glands and in specific granules of neutrophils …

Considering the anatomical location of the urethral meatus, it is surprising that urine is
normally sterile. The defensive properties of uroepithelia help maintain this sterility as …

Lactoferrin (LF) is a non-heme iron-binding glycoprotein involved in the transport of iron in
blood plasma. In addition, it has many biological functions, including antibacterial, antiviral …

Urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is a
substantial economic and societal burden—a formidable public health issue. Symptomatic …

Lactoferrin (Lf), an iron-binding protein from the transferrin family has been reported to have
numerous functions. Even though Lf was first isolated from milk, it is also found in most …

α–Intercalated cells (A-ICs) within the collecting duct of the kidney are critical for acid-base
homeostasis. Here, we have shown that A-ICs also serve as both sentinels and effectors in …

In the past 8 years, there has been renewed interest in the role of iron in both acute kidney
injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). In patients with kidney diseases, renal …
