Structural highlights
DiseaseTRFE_HUMAN Defects in TF are the cause of atransferrinemia (ATRAF) [MIM:209300. Atransferrinemia is rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by iron overload and hypochromic anemia.[1] [2] FunctionTRFE_HUMAN Transferrins are iron binding transport proteins which can bind two Fe(3+) ions in association with the binding of an anion, usually bicarbonate. It is responsible for the transport of iron from sites of absorption and heme degradation to those of storage and utilization. Serum transferrin may also have a further role in stimulating cell proliferation. Publication Abstract from PubMedRu and Rh binding sites in the structure of human serum transferrin with Fe(3+) bound at the C-lobe were identified by X-ray crystallography. Several His side chains and one Met are involved in the recognition of the metal ions by the protein.
