Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2005 Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein of the transferrin family. Abundant expression and secretion of lactoferrin, in particular in milk and fluids of the digestive tract, are related to its implication in the first line of host defense. Lactoferrin is also a prominent component of the secondary granules of neutrophils (PMNs) and is released in ...

Lactoferrin from Milk: Nutraceutical and Pharmacological Properties
Pharmaceuticals, 2016 Lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein present in large quantities in colostrum and in breast milk, in external secretions and in polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Lactoferrin’s main function is non-immune protection.

Recent advances and prospects in purification and heterologous expression of lactoferrin
Food Bioengineering, 2022 Lactoferrin is an 80 kDa iron‐binding glycoprotein of the transferrin family, which is abundant in milk and in most biological fluids. Besides the direct antimicrobial properties, lactoferrin can regulate immune responses and prevent infection and septic

Strain-specific Antimicrobial Activity of Lactoferrin-based Food Supplements
Journal of Food Protection, 2023 The iron-binding glycoprotein lactoferrin is well known for its wide range of antibacterial effects. However, the aim of this study was to show that its antibacterial activity is not generally applicable to a bacterial species as a whole.In disk ...
