Target Background | Transferrin is a blood plasma glycoprotein that plays a central role in iron metabolism and is responsible for ferric-ion delivery. Transferrin functions as the most critical ferric pool in the body. It transports iron through the blood to various tissues, such as the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. |
Name | TF |
---|---|
Function | Transferrins are iron binding transport proteins which can bind two Fe(3+) ions in association with the binding of an anion, usually bicarbonate. It is responsible for the transport of iron from sites of absorption and heme degradation to those of storage and utilization. Serum transferrin may also have a further role in stimulating cell proliferation. |
Cellular Location | Secreted. |
Tissue Location | Expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma. |
