LTF

LTF gene — the molecular target that 1 compounds in the wiki act on.

In one line: An iron-grabbing protein in milk that starves bacteria and supports immunity.

LTF makes lactoferrin, a protein found in milk and colostrum that grabs iron (which bacteria need to grow) and directly disrupts microbes — so it starves and fights infections while supporting the gut and immune system. It's why lactoferrin supplements are used for immune and gut support.

Think of it as an immune helper that works partly by locking away the iron that invading bacteria are hungry for.
