Function [CC]:
Cellular uptake of iron occurs via receptor-mediated endocytosis of ligand-occupied transferrin receptor into specialized endosomes. Endosomal acidification leads to iron release. The apotransferrin-receptor complex is then recycled to the cell surface with a return to neutral pH and the concomitant loss of affinity of apotransferrin for its receptor. Transferrin receptor is necessary for development of erythrocytes and the nervous system (By similarity). A second ligand, the heditary hemochromatosis protein HFE, competes for binding with transferrin for an overlapping C-terminal binding site. Positively regulates T and B cell proliferation through iron uptake (PubMed:26642240). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26642240, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3568132}.; (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for new-world arenaviruses: Guanarito, Junin and Machupo virus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17287727, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18268337}.
