Target Information

Transferrins (Tf) are approximately 80 kDa blood plasma glycoproteins synthesized by the liver. They are iron-binding transport proteins that can bind two Fe³⁺ ions in association with an anion, usually bicarbonate.
Transferrin is responsible for transporting iron from absorption and heme degradation sites to storage and utilization sites. It is the primary iron transport protein in blood, with about one-third of total transferrin bound to iron under normal conditions.
Measurement of transferrin levels can indicate iron-carrying capacity and abnormalities such as anemia, iron overload, and hemochromatosis. Serum transferrin may also play a role in stimulating cell proliferation.
