Scope note: Glicoproteínas de la membrana que se encuentran en grandes concentraciones sobre las células que utilizan hierro. Dichas glicoproteínas se unen de forma específica a la transferrina que transporta hierro, sufren endocitosis con su ligando y luego retornan a la superficie celular donde la transferrina se libera sin el hierro.

Scope note: Membrane glycoproteins found in high concentrations on iron-utilizing cells. They specifically bind iron-bearing transferrin, are endocytosed with its ligand and then returned to the cell surface where transferrin without its iron is released.
