Product Specifications

Product Specific Information

MA1-20108 detects transferrin in human samples.

Target Information

Transferrins (Tf) are approximately 80 kDa blood plasma glycoproteins synthesized by the liver. They function as iron-binding transport proteins capable of binding two Fe(3+) ions along with an anion, typically bicarbonate. Transferrin transports iron from absorption and heme degradation sites to storage and utilization locations. Under normal conditions, about one-third of total blood transferrin contains bound iron. Measurement of transferrin levels can indicate blood iron-carrying capacity and abnormalities such as anemia, iron overload, and hemochromatosis. Serum transferrin may also stimulate cell proliferation.
