Transferrin R

Human Transferrin R / CD71 Protein, His Tag, low endotoxin (MALS verified)

Synonym

CD71, TFRC, TFR, sTfR, TfR1, Trfr, T9, p90

Source

Human Transferrin R, His Tag (CD1-H5243) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Cys 89 - Phe 760 (Accession # P02786-1).

Predicted N-terminus: His

Molecular Characterization

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus.

The protein has a calculated MW of 77.0 kDa. The protein migrates as 80 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

The protein is designed as a dimer.

Endotoxin

Less than 0.01 EU per μg by the LAL method / rFC method.

Purity

>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Formulation

Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant.

Background

CD antigen CD71 is also known as Transferrin receptor protein 1, TfR, sTfR, p90, TfR1, Trfr, which belongs to the peptidase M28 family and M28B subfamily. CD71 /TFR contains one PA (protease associated) domain. CD71 / TfR1 is required for iron delivery from transferrin to cells. CD71 is a potential new target in cases of human leukomia & lymphoma. CD71 /TFRC / TfR has been shown to interact with GABARAP and HFE.
