Description

Melanotransferrin functions as a membrane-bound iron-binding glycoprotein implicated in iron homeostasis and neural development, making it a valuable target for investigating metal transport mechanisms and melanoma biology. This full-length mature protein (aa 20–709) demonstrates robust antibody-binding activity with an EC50 of 0.3476–0.4529 ng/mL in functional ELISA, confirming that the recombinant construct retains the conformational epitopes required for antibody development, immunoassay standardization, and ligand-binding studies. The protein meets the quality thresholds commonly required for drug-protein interaction assays and membrane transporter functional studies, with purity exceeding 95% by SDS-PAGE and endotoxin levels below 1.0 EU/μg. Researchers examining iron sequestration pathways, characterizing MELTF-specific monoclonal antibodies, or performing structural analyses of transferrin family members will find this mammalian-expressed protein provides a suitable basis for experiments demanding native glycosylation and proper disulfide bond formation.

Target Background

Function(From Uniprot)
Involved in iron cellular uptake. Seems to be internalized and then recycled back to the cell membrane. Binds a single atom of iron per subunit. Could also bind zinc.

  1. Melanotransferrin is a serological marker of colorectal cancer by secretome analysis and quantitative proteomics. PMID:25216327
  2. PC3 tumors are sustained by a small number of tumor-initiating cells with stem-like characteristics, including strong self-renewal and pro-angiogenic capability and marked by the expression pattern FAM65Bhigh/MFI2low/LEF1low. PMID:21190562
  3. The human genome contains a second melanotransferrin gene (MTf2). There are two isoforms of melanotransferrin. PMID:11852110
  4. its ability to donate 59Fe to SK-Mel-28 melanoma cells and other cell types PMID:12230555
  5. membrane-bound and soluble p97 affect the migration capacity of endothelial and melanoma cells and suggest that p97 could be involved in the regulation of plasminogen activation by interacting with pro-uPA and plasminogen. PMID:12750156
  6. Serum melanotransferrin exists in various conformations depending on the binding of bivalent cations or following post-translational modification; serum melanotransferrin levels are unchanged in subjects with Alzheimer's disease. PMID:12809550
  7. The distribution of MTf and its splice variants may provide clues to their possible biological roles in melanoma and other tumors. PMID:15716025
  8. melanotransferrin has a role in cell proliferation and tumorigenesis PMID:16704991
  9. Anti-angiogenic properties of soluble melanotransferrin may result from local overstimulation of plasminogen activation by tissue plasminogen activator, thus leading to subsequent degradation of the fibronectin matrix and endothelial cell detachment. PMID:16713448
  10. Altogether, these findings strongly suggest that MTf overexpression in melanoma cells contributes to tumor progression by stimulating plasmin generation as well as cell migration and invasion. PMID:17196552
  11. HMB-45 (melanoma-associated antigen p97) and Melan-A combined were positive in 100% of the renal angiomyolipomas PMID:17227112
  12. Novel molecular targets directly or indirectly regulated by MTf and the potential pathways involved in its function, including modulation of proliferation. PMID:17449903
  13. this review discusses the studies that have demonstrated that melanotransferrin is not involved in iron metabolism, but plays a vital role in melanoma cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. PMID:17452986
  14. Biochemical and spectroscopic studies of MTF1 are reported. PMID:18691669
