1. A Type II VNAR polypeptide which comprises a VNAR domain capable of specifically binding to human TfR-1 without substantially interfering with transferrin binding to and/or transport by human TfR-1, wherein said VNAR domain is represented by the formula, from N to C terminus, FW1-CDR1-FW2-HV2-FW2′-HV4-FW3-CDR3-FW4, and wherein the CDR1 region has an amino acid sequence of DSNCALSS (SEQ ID NO. 1) and the CDR3 region has an amino acid sequence of VVGTWCMSWRDV (SEQ ID NO. 2).
