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
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
## 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
The role of specific transferrin (Tf) and Tf receptor interaction on brain capillary endothelial cells in iron transport from the plasma to the brain was investigated by using Tf from several species of animals labeled with 59Fe and 125I, and 15-day and adult rats. The rate of iron transfer was much
In respiratory failure, transferrin (TF) with variable iron saturation accumulates in the alveolar space. Binding free iron to TF may inhibit metal-catalyzed formation of free radicals. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the degree of the iron-saturation of TF influences the severity of r
