Description

Transferrin receptor protein 1 mediates cellular iron uptake through endocytosis of iron-loaded transferrin, a process frequently dysregulated in rapidly proliferating cancer cells, making TFRC a target for therapeutic intervention and diagnostic imaging. This mammalian-expressed construct spanning residues 89–760 captures the extracellular ligand-binding domain and demonstrates quantified binding to both anti-TFRC recombinant antibody (EC50 3.305–8.220 ng/mL) and human transferrin (EC50 33.20–40.09 ng/mL) in functional ELISA, providing validated reagent performance for competitive inhibition assays, therapeutic antibody epitope mapping, and small-molecule inhibitor screening campaigns. The mammalian expression system supports native glycosylation and disulfide bond formation critical for conformational integrity in receptor-ligand interaction studies, including surface plasmon resonance and biolayer interferometry affinity characterization. With purity exceeding 95% by SDS-PAGE and endotoxin below 1.0 EU/μg, this protein aligns with standards expected in antibody screening workflows and serves as a positive control in binding assays targeting iron metabolism pathways in oncology research.

Target Background

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. A second ligand, the heditary 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. Acts as a lipid sensor that regulates mitochondrial fusion by regulating activation of the JNK pathway. 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. When dietary levels of stearate (C18:0) are high, TFRC stearoylation inhibits activation of the JNK pathway and thus degradation of the mitofusin MFN2.; (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for new-world arenaviruses: Guanarito, Junin and Machupo virus.
