General description
ColorWheel® technology is a novel and proprietary method of creating your own antibody and dye combinations for use in flow cytometry. By incubating any ColorWheel® antibody with any ColorWheel® dye, researchers can quickly and simply produce primary conjugated antibodies for use in single color or multicolor flow cytometry analysis. Each ColorWheel® antibody and dye is lyophilized for long long-term storage, allowing for simplicity and flexibility without compromise. ColorWheel® technology requires both ColorWheel® antibody and ColorWheel® dye for Flow Cytometry application.
We are committed to bringing you greener alternative products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.This product is Preservative-free, lyophilized product for enhanced stability and allow for ambient shipping and thus aligns with "Waste Prevention", "Designing Safer Chemicals" and "Design for Energy Efficiency".

Target description
Transferrin receptor protein 1 (UniProt: P02786; also known as TR, TfR, TfR1, Trfr, T9, p90, CD71) is encoded by the TFRC gene (Gene ID: 7037) in human. Iron is essential for multiple metabolic processes and is incorporated into many proteins in the form of cofactors such as heme and iron-sulfur clusters. CD71 (Transferrin receptor 1) facilitates the uptake of iron at the cell surface by internalizing diferric transferrin. It is a single-pass type II membrane protein that contains a cytoplasmic domain (aa 1-67), a transmembrane domain (aa 68-88), and a long extracellular domain (aa 89-760). Cellular uptake of iron occurs via receptor-mediated endocytosis of ligand-occupied transferrin receptor into specialized endosomes where acidification leads to iron release. The apotransferrin-receptor complex is then recycled to the cell surface with a return to neutral pH and the concomitant loss of affinity of apotransferrin for its receptor. The transferrin/CD71 system is shown to be important for erythroblasts and lymphocytes, T and B cells and its deficiency leads to anemia and compromised immune responses. Mutations in TFRC gene have been linked to immunodeficiency 46 that is characterized by early-onset chronic diarrhea, recurrent infections, intermittent neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia.
