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 Fe(3+) ions with an associated anion, usually bicarbonate. Transferrin transports iron from absorption and heme degradation sites to storage and utilization sites. It is the primary blood iron transport protein; under normal conditions, approximately one-third of total blood transferrin contains bound iron. 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.
