Cleavage of exosomal-associated transferrin receptor in dogs, cats, and horses: progress towards a soluble transferrin receptor assay
… disease or the other. In human medicine, soluble transferrin receptor 1 (sTfR) has shown promise as a marker, alone or in ratio with serum ferritin, that can differentiate iron deficiency anemia, anemia of chronic disease, and combined disease. sTfR is the product of cleavage of transferrin …

Mini-Isoelektrofokussierung von Serum-Transferrin bei Patienten mit CDG-Syndrom
… eine Methode zur Isoelektrofokussierung von Transferrin entwickelt. Die IEF im Mini-PhastSystem ist hier besonders schnell und zuverlässig. Die charakteristischen Bandenmuster des mit einer verminderten Anzahl an Sialinsäureresten glykosylierten Transferrins liefern erste …

Metal binding to transferrin and immune reactions in Parkinson's disease
… (59Fe) and gallium (67Ga) to the plasma protein transferrin (Tf) was investigated by G75 gel filtration chromatography in control patients and treated and untreated patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Fe-Tf binding was 100% in all controls and PD patients suggesting that a defect in Fe-Tf …

A Transferrin conjugated nanoemulsion system for brain delivery of antiretroviral therapy
… The goal of this study is to develop a new transferrin conjugated nanoemulsion system (Tf-NE) for antiretroviral medication delivery and evaluate its potential to cross the BBB. Nanoemulsions were prepared based on the solvent evaporation sonication method using lipids and phospholipids. To …

Transferrin binding protein B structure, function, and export in Neisseria gonorrhoeae
… iron-binding proteins, such as lactoferrin and transferrin. Neisseria gonorrhoeae utilizes transferrin as an iron source and its iron acquisition system is composed of two transferrin binding proteins: TbpA and TbpB. TbpA is a TonB-dependent, outer membrane transporter and TbpB is a bilobed, …

SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF THE INTERACTION OF ANIONS WITH TRANSFERRIN (NMR, PYROPHOSPHATE)
<p>Kinetic studies of the uptake of iron by transferrin from iron-pyrophosphate indicate that the reaction proceeds via an intermediate mixed ligand complex of the type PP(,i)-Fe-transferrin-CO(,3)('2-). The EPR spectrum of the "intermediate" complex was determined by computer modelling of the …

Studies on the role of hephaestin and transferrin in iron transport
… into blood. These ferroxidases supply transferrin, the iron-carrier protein in plasma, with Fe(III). Transferrin circulates through blood and delivers iron to cells via the transferrin receptor pathway. Due to the insoluble and reactive nature of free Fe(III), the oxidation of Fe(II) …

A STUDY OF THE THERMODYNAMICS OF ANION BINDING TO HUMAN SERUM TRANSFERRIN
… difference spectroscopy of diferric human serum transferrin indicates that certain inorganic anions alter the electronic environment of the ion centers of the protein by binding to specific anion sites. The binding of these anions (thiocyanate, perchlorate, adenosinetriphosphate, pyrophosphate, …

Deciphering the mechanism of Transferrin Receptor mRNA degradation under iron replete conditions
… controlled. For most cells in the body, the transferrin receptor (TFRC-1) is the major means through which iron is imported into the cell. Influx of transferrin bound iron is regulated by changes in the stability of TFRC-1 mRNA. Under iron deplete conditions, iron regulatory proteins 1 and 2 …

Structure of the trypanosome transferrin receptor and insights into ligand binding and therapeutic strategies
… whilst also avoiding immune detection. Host transferrin (Tf) is acquired by trypanosomes through the expression of a transferrin receptor (TfR), which does not share homology with the host TfR. Multiple diverse copies of the TfR are present in the trypanosome genome but only one is expressed …

Investigation of the Immunogenicity and Specificity of the Transferrin Binding Proteins from Bovine Pathogenic Bacteria
… that does not support microbial proliferation. Transferrin is a bilobal iron carrying protein found in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and on mucosal surfaces. It is targeted by a number of microbial transferrin binding proteins and siderophores. This thesis focuses on one of the best-studied …

Study of a Transferrin Receptor Brain Shuttle for the Delivery of Nanobodies Against GABAA Receptors
… targeting receptors present at the BBB, such as transferrin receptor (TfR), hijacking endogenous trafficking systems to shuttle conjugated therapeutic cargo from the blood circulation into the brain parenchyma. Such systems could be utilised to improve the delivery of novel immunogenically-raised …

KINETIC, SPECTROSCOPIC AND CHEMICAL MODIFICATION STUDY OF IRON RELEASE FROM TRANSFERRIN; IRON(III) COMPLEXATION TO ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE (ETHOXYFORMIC ANHYDRIDE, LYSINE)
… found to influence the chemical properties of transferrin iron. The catalytic ability of pyrophosphate to mediate transferrin iron release to a terminal acceptor is largely quenched by modification non-liganded histidine groups on the protein. The first order rate constants of iron release for …

Novel non-viral delivery systems for cancer gene therapy
… Conjugation of targeting ligands such as transferrin and lactoferrin is an attractive tool to improve specificity and cellular uptake of carriers, and surface modification of dendrimers with hydrophilic polymers such as polyethylene glycol should facilitate lower systemic toxicity and …

Optimisation of the anti-cancer efficacy of various tocotrienol isomers by entrapment in tumour-targeted vesicles
… that tocotrienol-rich fraction entrapped in transferrin-bearing vesicles led to an increased therapeutic efficacy in vitro and in vivo on mice, compared to the drug solution. This formulation may be further improved by entrapping only the most effective tocotrienol isomer within the optimised …
