Abstract - Structure of glycans from transferrins
The transferrins (serum transferrins and lactotransferrins) play an important role in bacteriostatic activity of the organisms and in the transport of iron into different receptor cells. The peptidic moiety of the various transferrins presents structural homologies while the primary structure of the glycans is peculiar to each species and could explain the specificity of cell recognition.
