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.
They transport iron from absorption and heme degradation sites to storage and utilization sites. Transferrin is the primary blood iron transport protein, with about one-third of total blood transferrin containing bound iron under normal conditions.
Measurement of blood transferrin levels can indicate blood iron-carrying capacity and abnormalities of iron metabolism such as anemia, iron overload, and hemochromatosis. Serum transferrin may also play a role in stimulating cell proliferation.
