Summary: Enables ferric iron binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cAMP; cellular response to follicle-stimulating hormone stimulus; and regulation of nervous system development. Located in several cellular components, including basement membrane; cell tip; and dendrite. Used to study hepatitis. Biomarker of anemia and obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in anemia (multiple); atransferrinemia; gastrointestinal system disease; glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and restless legs syndrome. Orthologous to human TF (transferrin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Neuroprotective Effects of Transferrin in Experimental Glaucoma Models.
Title: Neuroprotective Effects of Transferrin in Experimental Glaucoma Models.
Tf can be incorporated by all glial cells-i.e., microglia, astrocytes, and oligodendroglial precursor cell-and that, acting on microglial cells in vitro, Tf increases microglial proliferation rates and phagocytic capacity.
Title: Transferrin Enhances Microglial Phagocytic Capacity.
our data establish that blood TSAT exerts a critical role in experimental stroke-induced brain damage. In addition, our findings suggest that the protective effect of iron-free transferrin (apotransferrin, ATf) at the neuronal level resides in preventing NMDA-induced HTf uptake and ROS production, which in turn reduces neuronal damage

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
