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 in association with an anion, usually bicarbonate. Transferrin is responsible for iron transport from absorption and degradation sites to storage and utilization sites. It is the primary blood iron transport protein, with about one-third of transferrin normally bound to iron. 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.
