MyBioSource.com's Rabbit Anti-Transferrin Receptor/TFRC Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: EIA, Immunoassay, ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, and Immunohistochemistry - fixed. The Rabbit Anti-Transferrin Receptor/TFRC Antibody was generated using TFRC, and transferrin receptor as the antigen and it reacts with Human.
Description
Transferrin receptor protein 1, also known as transferrin receptor, Trfr, p9, CD71 and TFRC, is a single-pass type II membrane protein that belongs to the peptidase M28 family and M28B subfamily. TFRC/CD71 is a membrane-bound protein expressed in larger amounts in proliferating. The specific expression of TFRC can represent a test tool or a therapeutic target in solid tumours expressing this antigen. Transferrin receptor is necessary for development of erythrocytes and the nervous system. TFRC/CD71 is regulated by cellular iron levels through binding of the iron regulatory proteins, IRP1 and IRP2, to iron-responsive elements in the 3'-UTR. Up-regulated upon mitogenic stimulation. TFRC/CD71 represents a marker of malignant transformation in the pancreas that could be applied as potential test and therapeutic target
