Abstract
The transferrin receptor has been isolated from human placenta using immunochromatography and affinity chromatography. The receptor is a glycoprotein and has a Mr = 90,000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol. The isolated receptor is immunologically related to the transferrin receptor on the reticulocyte cell surface.
