Abstract: | - 1.1. The affinity of bovine transferrin for receptor sites on cell membranes of rat bone marrow cells was found to be much lower than of rat or human transferrin.
- 2.2. The apparent Michaelis constant for rat transferrin and bovine transferrin appeared to be 1.25 × 10−6 and 3.2 × 10−6mol/l, respectively.
- 3.3. The apparent Michaelis constant for rat transferrin was independent on its iron saturation. The binding at equilibrium of [125I]labelled rat transferrin to rat bone marrow cells varied only slightly with the iron saturation of transferrin.
- 4.4. Rat diferric- and monoferric-transferrin had the same affinity for rat bone marrow cell receptors.
- 5.5. The affinity of rat apotransferrin for these receptors was about one half of those of diferricand monoferric-transferrin.
