Abstract
Transferrin receptor has been an important protein for many of the advances made in understanding the intricacies of the intramolecular sorting pathways of endocytosed molecules. The unique internalization and recycling functions of transferrin receptor have also made it an attractive choice for drug targeting and delivery of large protein-based therapeutics and toxins. Recent advances in elucidating the role of the intracellular controllers of transferrin recycling and sorting, such as Rab proteins and their effectors, have led to enhancement of transferrin receptor as a drug delivery vehicle. This review focuses on the use of transferrin receptor as an agent for facilitating drug delivery and targeting, and the role that mechanisms of transferrin receptor sorting and transcytosis play in these events.
