Apo-Transferrin

• CAT Number: M053459
• CAS Number: 11096-37-0
• Purity: ≥95%

Apo-Transferrin refers to iron free Transferrin (HY-P3267), serves as Transferrin receptor ligand and mediates iron release from endothelial cells. Apo-Transferrin indicates an iron deficient environment, can directly bind to hephaestin, which can convert Fe2+ to Fe3+. Apo-Transferrin mediates iron efflux most likely in cooperation with ferroportin 1[1].
