Specifications
Target Information
Sheep transferrin is a crucial iron-binding protein predominantly synthesized by hepatocytes, playing a vital role in iron metabolism and transport. It is found in various body fluids, including plasma, bile, amniotic, cerebrospinal, lymph, and breast milk , with a plasma concentration stable from birth, ranging from 2 g l−1 to 3 g l−1, and an in vivo half-life of about eight days. In veterinary medicine, understanding Sheep Transferrin is important for studying iron-related diseases and for developing therapeutic strategies, especially considering its role in the potential therapeutic applications of sequestering free iron, drug delivery to rapidly growing cells, immune cell activation, and prevention of cell apoptosis.
