Background: Melanotransferrin/CD228

Melanotransferrin (MTF), also known as CD228, P97, MELTF, or MFI2, is a member of the transferrin superfamily that binds to a single ferric iron with high affinity (1). It was originally identified as a membrane-bound protein with a coding region of 2217 bases encoding 738 amino acids (aa) including five Fe-binding residues, the consensus thermolysin metalloprotease sites, and a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor (2). A secreted form of MTF (sMTF) has also been reported (2, 3). Human MTF shares 86% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat MTF. MTF expression is low in normal tissues but high in tumor and embryonic tissues. In melanoma MTF is associated with tumor metastasis and angiogenesis and upregulated in lung cancer tissue and cell lines (3). In the brain MTF is expressed in capillary endothelium but also in the reactive microglia associated with senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD) (4). sMTF has been reported to be increased in patients with AD or arthritis and may modulate angiogenesis, cell migration, and plasminogen activation (5).
