anti-CD71 / Transferrin Receptor antibody [YTA74.4]

anti-CD71 / Transferrin Receptor antibody [YTA74.4] for IHC-Frozen sections,Flow cytometry,Immunoprecipitation and Mouse

Overview

Product Description Rat Monoclonal antibody [YTA74.4] recognizes CD71 / Transferrin Receptor
Rat anti Mouse CD71 antibody, clone YTA74. 4 recognizes the mouse Transferrin receptor protein 1 also known as CD71 or TfR1. CD71 is a 763 amino acid glycoprotein homodimer of ~95 kDa subunits. CD71 is expressed by dividing cells, and functions as a transferrin receptor mediating uptake of iron. Rat anti Mouse CD71 antibody, clone YTA74. 4 blocks the binding of R17 217. 1. 3. and R17 208. 2 anti-TFR monoclonal antibodies (Trowbridge et al. 1982).

GeneID: 22042 Mouse TFRC

Swiss-port # Q62351 Mouse Transferrin receptor protein 1

Gene Symbol TFRC
Gene Full Name transferrin receptor
Background This gene encodes a cell surface receptor necessary for cellular iron uptake by the process of receptor-mediated endocytosis. This receptor is required for erythropoiesis and neurologic development. Multiple alternatively spliced variants have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
Function Cellular uptake of iron occurs via receptor-mediated endocytosis of ligand-occupied transferrin receptor into specialized endosomes. Endosomal acidification leads to iron release. The apotransferrin-receptor complex is then recycled to the cell surface with a return to neutral pH and the concomitant loss of affinity of apotransferrin for its receptor. Transferrin receptor is necessary for development of erythrocytes and the nervous system (By similarity). A second ligand, the heditary hemochromatosis protein HFE, competes for binding with transferrin for an overlapping C-terminal binding site. [UniProt]
Calculated MW 85 kDa
PTM N- and O-glycosylated, phosphorylated and palmitoylated. The serum form is only glycosylated.

Proteolytically cleaved on Arg-100 to produce the soluble serum form (sTfR).

Palmitoylated on both Cys-62 and Cys-67. Cys-62 seems to be the major site of palmitoylation. [UniProt]
