β¦ Synopsis
A t physiolo ical concentrations of citrate the uptake of 59Fe, 6fGa, and 239Pu into human type B lymphocytes of splenic origin is the same in viable and in non-viable cells. Addition of transferrin has no effect on the uptake into non-viable cells but in viable cells it increases the uptake of Fe and Ga but decreases that of Pu. Uptake decreases as transferrin concentration increases although this is less marked with Ga.

HFE-related hereditary hemochromatosis results in hepatic iron overload. Hepatocytes acquire transferrin-bound iron via transferrin receptor (Tfr) 1 and Tfr1-independent pathways (possibly Tfr2-mediated). In this study, the role of Hfe in the regulation of hepatic transferrin-bound iron uptake by th
The versatile chemistry of iron and the noxious reactions this essential metal may promote have compelled iron-dependent organisms to form specific iron-binding proteins to maintain iron in soluble, nontoxic, and accessible form for cellular needs. A variety of pathways can be traversed by iron to g
## Abstract The impact of actinides on living organisms has been the subject of numerous studies since the 1950s. From a general point of view, these studies show that actinides are chemical poisons as well as radiological hazards. Actinides in plasma are assumed to be mainly complexed to transferr
Transferrin (Tf) is accepted as the iron mobilization protein, but its role in transport of other metals is controversial. In this study, we used mixed glial cultures from hypotransferrinemic (Hp) mice to determine the dependence of these cells on transferrin for iron and manganese delivery and rele
