General description
TF (transferrin) is a 80kDa monomeric blood plasma glycoprotein with iron bindinding property. It is braodly divded into two regions with two iron binding sites. Both the N-terminal and C-terminal domains consist of two sub domains (N1 and N2, C1 and C2) connected by a hinge region.
Immunogen
Serotransferrin precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-TF antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for global protein profiling to find new molecular biomarkers for common, multifactorial disorders.
Anti-TF antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions
TF (transferrin) gene encodes a glycoprotein that binds to two Fe3+ ions in association with the binding of an anion, usually bicarbonate. It functions in transporting iron from the intestine, reticuloendothelial system, and liver parenchymal cells to all proliferating cells in the body. Most of the bound iron is utilized for the synthesis of hemoglobin by developing erythroid cells. It may also facilitate the removal of certain organic matter and allergens from serum by binding to granulocyte/pollen. Defects in this gene are associated with atransferrinemia, characterized by abnormal synthesis of transferrin leading to iron overload and microcytic hypochromic anemia.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Normal human serum was found to contain a heat-stable protein which promoted the binding of granulocytes to timothy grass pollen (granulocyte/pollen-binding protein [GPBP]). GPBP was purified by gel filtration, anion exchange, and affinity chromatography. Virtually all of the granulocyte/pollen-binding activity
