Transferrin is an essential component of cell growth and metabolic processes that require iron. An increase in the expression of transferrin receptors on lymphocytes ensures their differentiation, maturation and activation of proliferation.

Endosomal LC3C-pathway selectively targets plasma membrane cargo for autophagic degradation
Autophagy can selectively target cargo for degradation. Here the authors map the proximal interactome of ATG8-paralogs LC3B and LC3C uncovering an LC3C-Endocytic-Associated-Pathway that selectively recruits internalized plasma membrane cargo, Met and ...

Investigation into the Antigenic Properties and Contributions to Growth in Blood of the Meningococcal Haemoglobin Receptors, HpuAB and HmbR. [PDF]
Acquisition of iron from host complexes is mediated by four surface-located receptors of Neisseria meningitidis. The HmbR protein and heterodimeric HpuAB complex bind to haemoglobin whilst TbpBA and LbpBA bind iron-loaded transferrin and lactoferrin ...

Structure of the Human Transferrin Receptor-Transferrin Complex [PDF]
Iron, insoluble as free Fe(3+) and toxic as free Fe(2+), is distributed through the body as Fe(3+) bound to transferrin (Tf) for delivery to cells by endocytosis of its complex with transferrin receptor (TfR). Although much is understood of the transferrin endocytotic cycle, little has been uncovered of the molecular details underlying the formation of

Transferrin receptor-2 is a transmembrane protein whose expression is restricted to hepatocytes and erythroid cells. Transferrin receptor-2 has a regulatory function in iron homeostasis, since its inactivation causes systemic iron overload.

Factors associated with iron deficiency in heart failure
Aim. To establish the factors associated with iron deficiency (ID) in pa- tients with heart failure (HF).Material and methods. We examined 294 patients with NYHA class II-IV HF as follows: 213 — with ID, 81 — without ID. All patients underwent a clinical
