Transferrin

Human Serum Transferrin (HSTF) is a glycoprotein synthesized in the liver of approximately 80kDa in size. It has a key role in iron homeostasis, transporting the essential metal “iron” from sites of absorption to cells for use in metabolism or for storage. Being the main source of iron for cells, HSTF is an important and controllable iron-source in serum-free cell culture media.

As well as being able to bind two ferric ions per molecule, HSTF has the ability to bind an extensive range of different metals. This is particularly useful with respect to cell culture as many metal ions, as with iron, can become toxic when free in cell culture media.
