It has recently become apparent that many types of transformed cells possess membrane receptors for the plasma iron-binding protein transferrin. In this review Jeremy Brock and Tryfonia Mainou-Fowler discuss these observations in relation to transferrin's properties as an iron-transport protein, and the relative importance of iron and transferrin in lymphocyte transformation.
最近已变得明显的是,许多类型的转化细胞都拥有血浆铁结合蛋白转铁蛋白的膜受体。在这篇综述中,杰里米·布罗克和特里福尼亚·迈努-福勒讨论了这些观察结果与转铁蛋白作为铁转运蛋白的特性,以及铁和转铁蛋白在淋巴细胞转化中的相对重要性之间的关系。
