| Product Name | Recombinant Human Apo-Transferrin |
| Catalog No. | RESK-0248 |
| Description | Transferrin (TF) mediates iron transport from plasma to cells. In addition to participating in respiration, cell proliferation, and regulation of the immune system, it exhibits antioxidant and bactericidal functions and is widely used in cell culture. Transferrin exists in three forms: apo-transferrin (no bound iron), holo-transferrin (bound to two iron ions), and partially saturated transferrin. Transferrin binds to specific cell-surface receptors and is internalized by endocytosis; once inside the cell, iron is released, while the apo-transferrin is recycled to the extracellular space by exocytosis without being degraded, delivering iron to cells in a safe and efficient form. This product is a recombinant human transferrin expressed and purified from Pichia pastoris using genetic recombination technology. It contains no animal-derived components, carries no risk of blood-borne viral infection, and shows high batch-to-batch consistency. This product is the apo (iron-free) form of transferrin, suitable for media that are already iron-rich, and is commonly used in animal cell culture. |
| Intended Use | Iron-transport supplement for serum-free and animal cell culture; the apo (iron-free) form is suitable for use with iron-rich culture media. For research use only. |
| Principle / Technology | Produced by genetic recombination technology with expression and purification from Pichia pastoris (yeast). Transferrin binds specific cell-surface receptors, is internalized via endocytosis, releases iron into the cell, and the apo form is recycled extracellularly by exocytosis without degradation, enabling safe and efficient iron delivery. |
| Sample Type | Animal cell cultures, particularly serum-free culture systems using iron-rich media. |

| Quality Control | Manufactured and QC-tested under a strict quality system; stringent quality testing and release; TSE/BSE-free; free of antibiotic contamination; no risk of blood-borne viral infection. |
| Purity | >98.0% |
| Source / Origin | Recombinant human transferrin expressed in Pichia pastoris; animal origin-free. |
| Expiration Date / Stability | Valid for 2 years when stored at 2-8 °C, protected from light and moisture, tightly sealed and dry. |
| Regulatory / Compliance | Manufactured and QC-tested under a strict quality system; TSE/BSE-free; free of antibiotic contamination. For research use only. |
| Compatibility | Suitable for serum-free animal cell culture; the apo form is intended for media that are already iron-rich. |
| Application Notes / Precautions | The apo (iron-free) form is recommended for use with iron-rich culture media; if an intrinsic iron source is required, use the holo (iron-saturated) form instead. |
| Batch-to-Batch Consistency | High batch-to-batch consistency; 100-kg-level production scale ensures a stable and reliable supply. |
For research use only, not for clinical use.
