Cynomolgus Transferrin R/CD71 Protein 4074

Additional Information:
accession XP_005545315|express systemHEK293|product tagN-His|purity> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE|backgroundThe transferrin receptor (CD71) is known as a receptor for IgA1 on mesangial cells. The transcript and protein expression of glomerular CD71 was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. Human mesangial cells (HMCs) were treated with sera from IgAN patients and expression levels of CD71 and inflammatory cytokine markers were compared according to disease status.|molecular weightThe protein has a predicted MW of 76.3 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 78-80 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.|available size100 g, 500 g|endotoxinLess than 1EU per g by the LAL method.|Cynomolgus Transferrin R/CD71 Protein 4074proteinSize and concentration100, 500g and lyophilizedFormLyophilizedStorage InstructionsValid for 12 months from date of receipt when stored at -80C.

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 hereditary hemochromatosis protein HFE, competes for binding with transferrin for an overlapping C-terminal binding site. Positively regulates T and B cell proliferation through iron uptake (PubMed:26642240). Acts as a lipid sensor that regulates mitochondrial fusion by regulating activation of the JNK pathway (PubMed:26214738). When dietary levels of stearate (C18:0) are low, promotes activation of the JNK pathway, resulting in HUWE1-mediated ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of the mitofusin MFN2 and inhibition of mitochondrial fusion (PubMed:26214738). When dietary levels of stearate (C18:0) are high, TFRC stearoylation inhibits activation of the JNK pathway and thus degradation of the mitofusin MFN2 (PubMed:26214738).

Note=Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. ECO:0000269.; [Transferrin receptor protein 1, serum form]: Secreted ECO:0000269.StructureHomodimer; disulfide-linked. Binds one transferrin or HFE molecule per subunit. Binds the HLA class II histocompatibility antigen, DR1. Interacts with SH3BP3. Interacts with STEAP3; facilitates TFRC endocytosis in erythroid precursor cells (PubMed:26642240). PubMed:26642240.; (Microbial infection) Interacts with Guanarito, Junin and Machupo arenavirus glycoprotein complex (PubMed:17287727, PubMed:18268337). ECO:0000269.Post-translational modificationStearoylated by ZDHHC6 which inhibits TFRC-mediated activation of the JNK pathway and promotes mitochondrial fragmentation (PubMed:26214738). Stearoylation does not affect iron uptake (PubMed:26214738). PubMed:26214738.; N- and O-glycosylated, phosphorylated and palmitoylated. The serum form is only glycosylated. PubMed:1421756, ECO:0000269.; 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. ECO:0000269.Target Relevance information above includes information from UniProt accession: P02786The UniProt Consortium|
