This gene is a member of the transferrin family of genes and its protein product is found in the secondary granules of neutrophils. The protein is a major iron-binding protein in milk and body secretions with an antimicrobial activity, making it an important component of the non-specific immune system. The protein demonstrates a broad spectrum of properties, including regulation of iron homeostasis, host defense against a broad range of microbial infections, anti-inflammatory activity, regulation of cellular growth and differentiation and protection against cancer development and metastasis.

Titration of the LTF antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.

1. The specific epitope of this Ab is not known so we can not confirm that isoform 2 can be detected.

This LTF antibody was produced from a mouse immunized with LTF recombinant protein.

Aliquot the LTF antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder.Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
