Short Description
Creative Biolabs offers HEK293-Tg(Human TFRC) stable cell line which the TFRC gene stably expressed in HEK293 cells.
Description
HEK293-Tg(Human TFRC) stable cell line refers to a cell line derived from Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK) 293 cells that has been genetically engineered to stably express the human transferrin receptor protein (TFRC). TFRC is a cell surface receptor that binds to transferrin, a protein responsible for iron transport in the body. This stable cell line can be used in various research applications, including the study of iron metabolism, cellular uptake of iron, and the role of TFRC in various cellular processes. It can also be used as a tool for drug screening and development, particularly in the field of iron-related disorders and diseases.

Background
The TFRC gene encodes the transferrin receptor protein, which is responsible for the uptake of iron-bound transferrin into cells. This protein plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular iron homeostasis and is highly expressed in cells with high iron demands, such as rapidly dividing cells and erythroid precursors. Mutations in the TFRC gene can lead to various forms of iron-related disorders, such as hereditary hemochromatosis and iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia. Additionally, the TFRC gene has been implicated in cancer progression, as cancer cells often upregulate transferrin receptor expression to support their increased iron requirements.
