What Pathological Conditions are Associated with CD71?
Alterations in CD71 expression are associated with various pathological conditions:
Cancer: Many types of cancer cells overexpress CD71 to meet their increased iron requirements for rapid cell division. Iron-Deficiency Anemia: Reduced CD71 expression can be observed due to decreased iron availability. Autoimmune Diseases: Abnormal CD71 expression can be seen in certain autoimmune conditions where lymphocyte activation is dysregulated.
