Experimental and Molecular MedicineThe transferrin receptor (TfR) is one of the key proteins involved in cellular iron uptake. TfR-mediated endocytosis of transferrin-bound iron is the major pathway for iron acquisition by most cells in the body.

Tracking hemopexin intracellularly and defining hemopexin protein “interactomes” in human immune and liver cell models [PDF]
Frontiers in PhysiologyMaintaining hemopexin (HPX) plasma levels protects against heme-activated inflammation as well as the toxicity of heme and its iron during hemolysis. Plasma heme regulates HPX turnover in hepatocytes, thus controlling plasma HPX concentration.

Special status of iron transfer proteins in the serum of breast cancer patients [PDF]
Discover OncologyCancer cells have a greater requirement for iron because of their continuous and rapid proliferation. To do that, iron homeostasis is altered in cancer cells to meet this excessive demand.

Heterotypic interactions between transferrin receptor and transferrin receptor 2 [PDF]
Blood, 2003 Cellular iron uptake in most tissues occurs via endocytosis of diferric transferrin (Tf) bound to the transferrin receptor (TfR). Recently, a second transferrin receptor, transferrin receptor 2 (TfR2), has been identified and shown to play a critical role in iron metabolism.

Transferrin Receptors in Erythropoiesis [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Erythropoiesis is a highly dynamic process giving rise to red blood cells from hematopoietic stem cells present in the bone marrow. Red blood cells transport oxygen to tissues thanks to the hemoglobin comprised of α- and β-globin chains and of iron-containing hemes.
