Bacterial lactoferrin receptors.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology - 1 Jan 1998

Schryvers A B, Bonnah R, Yu R H, Wong H, Retzer M

Abstract excerpt

Lactoferrin is thought to play a pivotal role in prevention of infection in the host and its ability to sequester iron from potential pathogens has been considered an important component of its antimicrobial function. A number of bacterial species in the Neisseriaceae have developed a mechanism for acquiring iron directly from this host glycoprotein which involves surface receptors capable of specifically binding...
