Mouse Transferrin is a blood plasma glycoprotein which binds iron and regulates the amount of available iron in circulation. Mouse Transferrin has a high affinity for iron, but this binding is reversible. Mouse Transferrin has a molecular weight of approximately 80kDa. Mouse Transferrin also plays a role in the immune system, creating environments low in iron for which many pathogenic bacteria are unable to thrive. This product is holo-transferrin and is loaded with iron prior to use and can be added directly to iron poor or iron-free cell culture media.
