Rat Transferrin ELISA

Transferrin is a metal-combining protein that binds reversibly to acid-soluble iron in plasma. Its function is to transport iron to the bone marrow, and to tissue storage organs such as the liver. Transferrin also participates in the regulation and control of iron absorption and protects against iron intoxication. Like haptoglobin, the carrier of hemoglobin, transferrin is synthesized in the liver, but unlike haptoglobin, transferrin is returned to the circulation after unloading its iron in the reticuloendothelial system.
The Rat Transferrin ELISA can be used to measure transferrin in serum and plasma.
The Rat Transferrin ELISA is for Research Use Only.
