Abstract: What generalized in the paper was the latest research development in lactoferritin,which mainly involved the molecular structure,isolation method,biological function of lactoferritin,current research condition of lactoferritin gene and recombination of lactoferritin.At the same time,some effects of lactoferritin and its active peptide were introduced,such as antimicrobe, enhancement of cell growth, enhancenent of immunity,resistance of oxidzation,antitummor,metabolism related to iron, and so on.Besides,an analysis of lactoferritin’s application in clinical and food industry was reviewed.
