Lactoferrin, a multifunctional iron binding glycoprotein, plays an important role in immune
regulation and defence mechanisms against bacteria, fungi and viruses. Lactoferrin's iron …

Lactoferrin (Lf), a prominent protein in milk, many other secretory fluids and white blood
cells, is a monomeric, 80-kDa glycoprotein, with a single polypeptide chain of about 690 …

Lactoferrin is a nutrient classically found in mammalian milk. It binds iron and is transferred
via a variety of receptors into and between cells, serum, bile, and cerebrospinal fluid. It has …

Iron, insoluble as free Fe 3+ and toxic as free Fe 2+, is distributed through the body as Fe 3+
bound to transferrin (Tf) for delivery to cells by endocytosis of its complex with transferrin …

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 …

Lactoferrin is a multifunctional iron-binding glycoprotein belonging to the transferrin family. It
is found abundantly in milk and is present as a major protein in human exocrine secretions …

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 …

Lactoferrin (Lf) is widely distributed, in mammalian milks, other secretory fluids and white
blood cells, and its biology is complex. The three-dimensional structure of this important …

Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron binding glycoprotein of the transferrin family that is expressed in
most biological fluids and is a major component of mammals' innate immune system. Its …
