Lactoferrin is a protein found abundantly in cow milk and is homologous to human lactoferrin. This protein is extensively studied in nutritional and biochemical research due to its ability to bind and transport iron ions, thus playing a significant role in iron homeostasis. In addition to its iron-binding properties, Lactoferrin (Bovine) is also of interest for its interaction with bacterial pathogens, as it may act to exhibit antibacterial activity, which is subject to research on the mechanisms of innate immunity. The protein′s influence on cell growth and differentiation makes it a relevant model in cellular biology studies. Researchers also investigate the potential of Lactoferrin (Bovine) to bind to other metal ions and its structural response to such interactions, contributing to a broader understanding of metal-protein biochemistry.

I would like to purchase a reagent of lactoferrin in its apo form, which is the iron-free type. Is this lactoferrin a mixture of the apo and holo forms? Is it possible to purchase the apo form?

This lactoferrin is "iron saturated or unsaturated"?

Asked by: M Arfat
Thank you for your question. Lactoferrin is an endogenous glycoprotein found in secretory fluids; it binds the lactoferrin receptor. Lactoferrin exhibits antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-metastatic, and chemopreventive activities. This compound binds DNA and inhibits carcinogenesis in several cancer development models. Additionally, lactoferrin displays particular effective inhibition of gram negative bacteria, Candida, rotavirus, herpesvirus, HIV, and cytomegalovirus (CMV). We donot have any information on if this compound is saturated or unsaturated.
