Ltf - lactotransferrin

Enables peptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; negative regulation of hydrolase activity; and regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including iron ion homeostasis; ossification; and proteolysis. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; epithelium; genitourinary system; immune system; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in candidiasis; lung non-small cell carcinoma; and renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human LTF (lactotransferrin).
