MeSH information

Definition | Details | More General Concepts | Related Concepts | More Specific Concepts

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.
