Shipping The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the recommended temperature.

Background

CD71 also known as transferrin receptor protein 1 (TfR1), is a transmembrane glycoprotein composed of two disulfide-linked monomers. Each monomer binds one holo-transferrin molecule creating an iron-Tf-TfR complex that enters the cell by endocytosis. CD71 is almost ubiquitously expressed, with the highest expression levels on some cells and tissues, including immature erythroid cells, placental tissue, and rapidly dividing cells. CD71 is involved in iron (Fe3+) uptake, and expression is regulated by the metabolic demand for iron. CD71 is present in actively proliferating cells and is essential for iron transport into proliferating cells.
