Isolation and molecular cloning of transferrin from the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta. Sequence similarity to the vertebrate transferrins.

1 Dec 1990

Abstract excerpt

An iron-binding glycoprotein of Mr = 77,000 has been isolated from hemolymph of the adult sphinx moth Manduca sexta. Since this protein binds ferric ion both in vivo and in vitro and has a secondary structure similar to that of human serum transferrin and human lactoferrin as judged by CD spectra, we decided to clone its cDNA in order to determine its relationship to the vertebrate transferrins. Antiserum...
