Increase of transferrin receptors in hepatocytes during rat liver regeneration.
Transferrin receptor in hepatocytes was studied by iron-saturated[125I]transferrin binding. In regenerating rat liver, the receptor was increased 18 hr after partial hepatectomy and decreased at 8 days. The increase of transferrin receptor in hepatocytes may be a marker of proliferation of the cells.
