Background: | CD71 (transferrin receptor) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein expressed as homodimer in erythroid blood cell line and in activated leukocytes. CD71 antigen is expressed typically at high level on all proliferating cell, activated cells and erythroblasts or reticulocytes that require iron, but not on resting peripheral blood leucocytes and mature erythrocytes. CD71 antigen is also expressed at high level on cells of most neoplastic cell lines and 29-32% of bone marrow cells. A soluble form of CD71 in serum (plasma) exists besides a membrane form. Monitoring the soluble form of CD71 antigen in plasma is a diagnostic marker of anemia besides assaying plasma ferritin. |
UniProt Protein Function: | TfR: the transferrin receptor. Regulates the cellular uptake of iron occurs via receptor-mediated endocytosis of ligand-occupied receptors into specialized endosomes. Endosomal acidification leads to iron release. The apotransferrin-receptor complex is then recycled to the cell surface with a return to neutral pH and the concomitant loss of affinity of apotransferrin for its receptor. Transferrin receptor is necessary for development of erythrocytes and the nervous system. |

NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes a cell surface receptor necessary for cellular iron uptake by the process of receptor-mediated endocytosis. This receptor is required for erythropoiesis and neurologic development. Multiple alternatively spliced variants have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015] |
