Disease relevance of LTF

 

Psychiatry related information on LTF

 

High impact information on LTF

  • Particular emphasis is put on milk proteins such as lactoferrin, casein, and whey proteins, but phytate in soy formula is also discussed [10].
  • Lactoferrin deficiency associated with altered granulocyte function [11].
  • Lactoferrin, an iron-binding glycoprotein found in high concentrations in human milk and other epithelial secretions and in the secondary (specific) granules of neutrophils, is thought to be responsible for primary defence against microbial infection, mainly as a result of lactoferrin sequestration of iron required for microbial growth [12].
  • Why diabetes is associated with abnormally high susceptibility to infection remains unknown, although two major antibacterial proteins, lysozyme and lactoferrin, have now been shown to specifically bind glucose-modified proteins bearing advanced glycation end products (AGEs) [13].
  • Many other functions have been attributed to lactoferrin, including immunomodulation and cell growth regulation (reviewed in ref. 4). Some of these functions appear to be at least in part independent of the iron-binding activity of lactoferrin [12].

Other interactions of LTF

  • Freshly isolated CD34+ CB cells were negative for LZ and LF, and only small proportions expressed MPO (4% +/- 2%) or CD68 (3% +/- 1%) [36].
  • The binding affinity for lactoferrin (83 nM) was about 4-fold lower than for transferrin (21 nM) [23].
  • ANCA in RA patients are directed toward diverse cytoplasmic antigens of the neutrophil, in particular, LF and other, not yet fully characterized polypeptides [37].
  • Lactoferrin, another protein with a high affinity for mammalian LRP/alpha 2MR, also binds to OVR and abolishes its interaction with yolk precursors [26].
  • Fe acquisition by M.tb within hereditary hemochromatosis macrophages was decreased by 84% from Tf and 92% from Lf relative to that in healthy control macrophages [38].
