Transferrin plays a central role in iron homeostasis, functioning as the primary plasma protein responsible for ferric iron transport throughout the body. This serotransferrin, also known as beta-1 metal-binding globulin or siderophilin, delivers iron to cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis and serves as a critical marker in studies of iron metabolism, anemia, liver function, and cellular proliferation. Researchers investigating iron-dependent processes, from erythropoiesis to tumor biology, rely on precise detection of this 77 kDa glycoprotein.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody against human transferrin offers the reproducibility that demanding experimental workflows require. Generated through recombinant technology with a defined sequence, clone 13D2 eliminates the lot-to-lot variability inherent in traditional hybridoma production. The human IgG1 isotype format and affinity chromatography purification ensure consistent performance across extended studies and multi-site collaborations.
Validation across multiple platforms demonstrates genuine experimental flexibility. Western blot analysis confirms specific detection at the expected 77 kDa molecular weight in both HEK293 and HeLa whole cell lysates, with optimal performance at dilutions between 1:500 and 1:2000. Immunohistochemistry on paraffin-embedded human liver tissue reveals clear staining patterns using citrate buffer antigen retrieval, supporting applications in tissue-based research. Flow cytometry analysis of HepG2 cells shows distinct positive population shifts compared to isotype controls, enabling quantitative assessment of transferrin expression at the single-cell level.
This antibody serves researchers exploring iron transport mechanisms, hepatocyte biology, metabolic disorders, and cancer metabolism where transferrin expression patterns provide meaningful biological insights.
