Transferrin Receptor 2-α Supports Cell Growth Both in Iron-chelated Cultured Cells and in Vivo
1 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
In most cells, transferrin receptor (TfR1)-mediated endocytosis is a major pathway for cellular iron uptake. We recently cloned the human transferrin receptor 2 (TfR2) gene, which encodes a second receptor for transferrin (Kawabata, H., Yang, R., Hirama, T., Vuong, P. T., Kawano, S., Gombart, A. F., and Koeffler, H. P. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 20826-20832). In the present study, the regulation of TfR2...
