Upregulation of transferrin receptor-1 induces cholangiocarcinoma progression via induction of labile iron pool

Tumor Biology, 2017
Labile iron pool is a cellular source of ions available for Fenton reactions resulting in oxidative stress. Living organisms avoid an excess of free irons by a tight control of iron homeostasis.

Controversial Role of Transferrin in the Transport of Ruthenium Anticancer Drugs

Biomolecules, 2022
Ruthenium complexes are at the forefront of developments in metal-based anticancer drugs, but many questions remain open regarding their reactivity in biological media, including the role of transferrin (Tf) in their transport and cellular uptake. A well-

The small GTPase RAB10 regulates endosomal recycling of the LDL receptor and transferrin receptor in hepatocytes

Journal of Lipid Research, 2022
The low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) mediates the hepatic uptake of circulating low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), a process that modulates the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

ROLE OF CERAMIDE IN TRANSFERRIN RECEPTOR MOVEMENT IN THE PLANE OF THE PLASMA MEMBRANE [PDF]

Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal, 2010
After ligation with transferrin (Tf), transferrin receptor (TfR) is aggregated on cell surface in clathrin coated pits and then internalized into the cell.

The extrahepatic role of TFR2 in iron homeostasis

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2014
Transferrin receptor 2 (TFR2), a protein homologous to the cell iron importer transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1), is expressed in the liver and erythroid cells and is reported to bind diferric transferrin, although at lower affinity than TFR1.

Role of the clathrin adaptor PICALM in normal hematopoiesis and polycythemia vera pathophysiology

Haematologica, 2015
Clathrin-dependent endocytosis is an essential cellular process shared by all cell types. Despite this, precisely how endocytosis is regulated in a cell-type-specific manner and how this key pathway functions physiologically or pathophysiologically ...

Modeling of the N-glycosylated transferrin receptor suggests how transferrin binding can occur within the surface coat of Trypanosoma brucei.

PLoS Pathogens, 2012
The transferrin receptor of bloodstream form Trypanosoma brucei is a heterodimer encoded by expression site associated genes 6 and 7. This low-abundance glycoprotein with a single glycosylphosphatidylinositol membrane anchor and eight potential N ...

Transferrin receptor in primary and metastatic breast cancer: Evaluation of expression and experimental modulation to improve molecular targeting.

PLoS ONE, 2023
BackgroundConjugation of transferrin (Tf) to imaging or nanotherapeutic agents is a promising strategy to target breast cancer. Since the efficacy of these biomaterials often depends on the overexpression of the targeted receptor, we set out to survey ...
