H-Ferritin Is Preferentially Incorporated by Human Erythroid Cells through Transferrin Receptor 1 in a Threshold-Dependent Manner. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Ferritin is an iron-storage protein composed of different ratios of 24 light (L) and heavy (H) subunits. The serum level of ferritin is a clinical marker of the body's iron level.

Influence of Protein Carbonylation on Human Adipose Tissue Dysfunction in Obesity and Insulin Resistance

Biomedicines, 2022
Background: Obesity is characterized by adipose tissue dysregulation and predisposes individuals to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. At the molecular level, adipocyte dysfunction has been linked to obesity-triggered oxidative stress and protein ...

Soluble transferrin receptor and immature reticulocytes are not useful for distinguishing iron-deficiency anemia from heterozygous beta-thalassemia

São Paulo Medical Journal
Iron deficiency and heterozygous beta-thalassemia are important causes of hypochromic-microcytic anemia. Two laboratory parameters are suggested for the differentiation of such anemia.

Iron metabolism and its association with dyslipidemia risk in children and adolescents: a cross-sectional study

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2019
Background Information on the association between iron metabolism and dyslipidaemia in children is limited. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the iron metabolic status of children with different body mass index (BMI) and to examine the association ...

Residual erythropoiesis protects against myocardial hemosiderosis in transfusion-dependent thalassemia by lowering labile plasma iron via transient generation of apotransferrin

Haematologica, 2017
Cardiosiderosis is a leading cause of mortality in transfusion-dependent thalassemias. Plasma non-transferrin-bound iron and its redox-active component, labile plasma iron, are key sources of iron loading in cardiosiderosis.

Orchestrated regulation of iron trafficking proteins in the kidney during iron overload facilitates systemic iron retention. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The exact route of iron through the kidney and its regulation during iron overload are not completely elucidated. Under physiologic conditions, non-transferrin and transferrin bound iron passes the glomerular filter and is reabsorbed through kidney ...

Comparison of the Interactions of Transferrin Receptor and Transferrin Receptor 2 with Transferrin and the Hereditary Hemochromatosis Protein HFE [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
The transferrin receptor (TfR) interacts with two proteins important for iron metabolism, transferrin (Tf) and HFE, the protein mutated in hereditary hemochromatosis. A second receptor for Tf, TfR2, was recently identified and found to be functional for iron uptake in transfected cells (Kawabata, H., Germain, R. S., Vuong, P. T., Nakamaki, T., Said, J.

THE ROLE OF SERUM TRANSFERRIN RECEPTORS MEASUREMENT

Zdravniški Vestnik, 2004
Background. The transferrin receptors are transmembrane proteins. They have a critical role in iron metabolism by controlling the flow of transferrin iron into body cells.

Transferrin Reduces the Production of Soluble Transferrin Receptor

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1995
The effect of homologous diferric transferrin from which contaminating transferrin receptor has been removed by monoclonal antibody affinity chromatography on soluble transferrin receptor concentrations was studied in K562 cells and HL60 cells in culture.

Two Interconvertible Folds Modulate the Activity of a DNA Aptamer Against Transferrin Receptor

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2014
Thanks to their ability to recognize biomolecular targets with high affinity and specificity, nucleic acid aptamers are increasingly investigated as diagnostic and therapeutic tools, particularly when their targets are cell-surface receptors.
