Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein that belongs to the transferrin family of iron binding proteins. It is found in human breast milk as well as most epithelial surface secretions including tears, nasogastric, saliva, and bronchial. Lactoferrin binds 2 molecules of iron with very high affinity. Lactoferrin inhibits bacterial growth by withholding iron, its N-terminal region is an antimicrobial peptide. Lactotransferrin acts synergistically with lysozyme to potentiate the activity of both proteins. The multifunctional protein lactoferrin has many physiological possible roles. It is often referred to as an innate defense protein and frequently serves as the first line of defense in protection against pathogens. It has been shown to have the ability to bind iron, it is a natural anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral, it is an antioxidant and it also has immunomodulatory properties. It has many beneficial properties, which make it a good candidate for a number of product applications. Considerable research is currently going on to explain the various suggested biological functions of lactoferrin.

Recombinant Human Holo Lactoferrin produced in Plant is a glycosylated mature polypeptide sequence having an approximate molecular mass of 80 kDa.
The Human Holo Lactoferrin is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Rice Flour.

Pink lyophilized powder.

The Human Holo lactoferrin was lyophilized with no additives.

Recombinant Holo Lactoferrin although stable at room temperature for 5 days, should be stored desiccated below -18°C.
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized LTF Holo Human in sterile water at 10mg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

SDS

Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
