Interaction of Lactoferrin with Ceruloplasmin

“…CP, otherwise termed ferro-O 2 -oxidoreductase (CE 1.16.3.1) or ferroxidase, maintains low concentrations of dangerous Fe 2ϩ oxidizing it to Fe 3ϩ . Taking into account that apo-LF is also frequently found in the foci of inflammation, where it is believed to capture the Fe 3ϩ ions preventing their utilization by pathogenic bacteria (30,31), the assistance of ferroxidase for its efficient function seems to be important. It is conceivable that CP is needed for incorporation of Fe 3ϩ into apo-LF apart from the cases of acute inflammation.…”

Casocidin‐I: a casein‐αs2 derived peptide exhibits antibacterial activity

“…Breastfed sucklings, for example, almost exclusively exhibit Bifidobacterium bifidum in their intestine [2]. Milk proteins which are supposed to be responsible for this modulation are for example lysozyme [3,4], lactoperoxidase [5][6][7], lactoferrin [7][8][9] and antibodies [10]. However, in vivo the ingestion of lactoferrin has only a marginal influence on the intestinal microflora [1 1].…”

Studies on Functionalized Chitosan Beads. I. Selective Adsorption of Bovine Lactoferrin onto Partially Sulfated Chitosan Beads.

“…Since lactoferrin has been known to have some important biological roles such as antimicrobial activity (10) , immunological activity ( 11,12),and supplying of iron ions (13), there have been many methods for the purification of this protein from bovine milk (14) . However, the general methods of purification contains fairly complicated procedures, and the yield of recovery and purity of isolated lactoferrien are often unsatisfactory for the practical process owing to serious influence on the production costs.…”
