Functional Divergence of the N-Lobe and C-Lobe of <i>Transferrin</i> Gene in <i>Pungitius sinensis</i> (Amur Stickleback)
Transferrin is an important iron-binding glycosylated protein and plays key roles in iron-binding and immune response. Here, a 2037-bp open reading frame was obtained from our previous transcriptome sequencing data of Amur stickleback, which encoded a 679 amino acid putative transferrin protein harb...
