Anti-Transferrin (porcine) Monoclonal Antibody (Clone:PTF-02)

Transferrin is a single polypeptide chain glycoprotein belonging to iron binding family of proteins. It has a molecular weight of 81,5 kDa (porcine) . It is synthesised in the liver and consists of two domains each having a high affinity reversible binding site for Fe3+. The iron is transported in blood and interstitial fluids to sites of use and disposal. Iron/transferrin is essential in haemoglobin synthesis and for certain types of cell division. Serum concentration rises in iron deficiency and pregnancy and falls in iron overload, infection and inflammatory conditions.
