Iron-binding proteins

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Iron-binding proteins are carrier proteins and metalloproteins which play many important roles in metabolism. They bind Iron and can therefore inhibit microbial growth. Two iron-binding proteins are lactoferrin and transferrin.
