Manganese and Iron Binding to Human Transferrin
The characteristics of manganese and iron binding to human apotransferrin (apo-tf) have been investigated and compared in this study. Both metal ions were taken up by human apo-tf and formed complexes, with the maximum absorbances observed at 410 and 340 nm for manganese-transferrin (Mn-tf) and 465 nm for iron-transferrin (Fe-tf). Addition of manganese (1.5 µg/ml) to the reaction mixture contai...

متن کاملDifferential sedimentation-velocity and gel-filtration measurements on human apotransferrin and iron-transferrin.
Differential measurements of sedimentation velocity showed that binding of 2 atoms of iron per molecule of human apotransferrin caused an increase in s(0) (20,w) of about 1.8%. Gel-filtration experiments to compare the elution volumes of apotransferrin and transferrin radioactively labelled with iron showed that binding of the first atom to a molecule produced a decrease in Stokes radius of abo...
متن کاملThe effect of apotransferrin on iron release from Caco-2 cells, an intestinal epithelial cell line.
The Caco-2 cell line grown in bicameral chambers was used to study the effect of transferrin in the basal chamber on the transepithelial transport of iron. We have shown that when iron was offered as 59Fe on the apical surface of the Caco-2 cells, transport of 59Fe into the basal chamber was stimulated by 50 micromol/L apotransferrin. Here, we examined the effect on 59Fe transport of lower conc...
متن کاملHephaestin and ceruloplasmin facilitate iron metabolism in the mouse kidney
Multicopper ferroxidases (MCFs) play an important role in cellular iron homeostasis. However, the role of MCFs in renal metabolism remains unclear. We used Hephaestin (Heph) and Ceruloplasmin (Cp) single or double (Heph/Cp) knockout (KO) mice to study the roles of MCFs in the kidney. Renal iron levels and the expression of iron metabolism genes were examined. The non-heme iron content both in t...
