Human lactotransferrin: amino acid sequence and structural comparisons with other transferrins
Open accessAbstract
The complete amino acid sequence (703 amino acid residues) of human lactotransferrin has been determined. The location of the disulfide bridges has also been investigated. Computer analysis established internal homology of the two domains (residues 1-338 and residues 339-703). Each domain contains a single iron-binding site and a single glycosylation site (asparagine residues 137 and 490) located in homologous positions. Prediction of the secondary structure of the two homologous moieties of human lactotransferrin has also been performed. The present results allowed a series of comparisons to be made with human serum transferrin and hen ovotransferrin.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
