Overview
-
Transferrins are glycoproteins which regulate the amount of free iron in circulation. Each transferrin molecule binds two Fe+3 with high affinity. When no iron is bound the molecule is called Apotransferrin. Transferrin concentration elevates in anemia, but also during pregnancy and when using birth control pills. Chronic infections, malignant growth, alcohol induced liver damage, and other conditions with protein loss may lower transferrin concentration.
