Susceptibilities of lactoferrin and transferrin to myeloperoxidase-dependent loss of iron-binding capacity.
Apolactoferrin and apotransferrin lost their ability to subsequently bind iron when exposed to an excess of either HOCl or myeloperoxidase plus H2O2 and Cl-. Apolactoferrin, however, was more resistant than apotransferrin. By oxidizing a mixture of the two proteins, then separating them by immunoprecipitation, the difference in susceptibility was shown to be due to the greater reactivity of tra...
متن کاملManganese 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 کاملStudy of Nonenzymatic Glycation of Transferrin and its Effect on Iron -Binding Antioxidant Capacity
Objective(s) Nonenzymatic glycosylation (glycation) occurs in many macromolecules in aging and diabetes due to exposure of biomolecules to high level of glucose. Glycation can changes function, activities and structure of many biomolecules. Considering this important role of transferrin (Trf) in iron transport and antioxidant activity in plasma this study was carried out to investigate the eff...
متن کاملtransferrin by iron-binding capacity
SYNOPSIS Two criteria which ought to be satisfied by an acceptable method for the estimation of serum transferrin by iron-binding capacity are enunciated. A screening procedure is described which involves the sequential quantitative use of ion exchange and gel filtration. Its use in testing the extent to which two published methods fulfil the recommended criteria is described. Both methods give...
