Human transferrin receptor: expression of the receptor is assigned to chromosome 3. 1982

C A Enns, and H A Suomalainen, and J E Gebhardt, and J Schröder, and H H Sussman

Human chromosome 3 has been identified as responsible for expression of the transferrin receptor in mouse-human lymphocyte hybrids. The receptor was detected by immunoprecipitation with anti-human receptor antibody of 125I-labeled cells. This method also detected a similar 94,000-dalton protein in mouse cells. A radioimmunoassay developed for the human transferrin receptor measured 10% crossreactivity with the mouse protein. The two proteins were distinguished by NaDodSO4/polyacrylamide gel patterns of partial proteolytic digests of the immunoprecipitated proteins. Mouse-human hybrids were generated by fusing a mouse thymoma (BW5147) cell line to either concanavalin A- or pokeweed mitogen-activated human peripheral blood lymphocytes or a mouse myeloma (NS-1) to uncultured human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Each hybrid was karyotyped with respect to both mouse and human chromosomes. In every case, expression of the human transferrin receptor correlated only with human chromosome 3.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D011990 Receptors, Transferrin Membrane glycoproteins found in high concentrations on iron-utilizing cells. They specifically bind iron-bearing transferrin, are endocytosed with its ligand and then returned to the cell surface where transferrin without its iron is released.
