The number of investigators focusing their attention on lactoferrin
has increased dramatically in recent years. Lactoferrin is a
protein with more than one known structure and a number of proposed
biological functions, including several with important regulatory
consequences. In many ways it has been an easy pro tein to
investigate; however, there have been difficulties under standing
specific structure / function relationships, particularly as it
functions in vivo. Research funding dedicated to this protein has
previously been limited, but is now increasing. As lactoferrin
begins to emerge formally as a protein of significance to the medi
and industry, it is more important than ever to coor cal profession
dinate and integrate research efforts whenever possible and to
share the results of these efforts within the expanding array of
medical and scientific diSciplines involved. It was our intention
to provide a forum to summarize and disseminate the most recent
advances in this field. Included in Lactoferrin: Interactions and
Biological Functions are selected presentations representing the
many disciplines involved in defining lactoferrin function in terms
of its known structural features, including its carbohydrate
side-chains, receptor binding sites, its capacity to bind different
metal ions, and other newly discovered bioactive domains. Several
of the possible physiologi cal functions of lactoferrin are
described and summarized in detail, including the role of
laetoferrin in bacterial killing, its in volvement in cell growth
and proliferation, in the modulation of immune function, and in
iron absorption."
