PriCells: Recombinant Human Transferrin (rhTF)

Transferrins are iron-binding blood plasma glycoproteins that control the level of free iron in biological fluids.

In humans, transferrin consists of a polypeptide chain containing 679 amino acids.

The liver is the main source of manufacturing transferrin, but other sources such as the brain also produce this molecule.

Transferrin is also associated with the innate immune system. Transferrin is found in the mucosa and binds iron, thus creating an environment low in free iron that impedes bacteria survival. The levels of transferrin are decreased in inflammation, seeming contradictory to its function.

A deficiency is associated with atransferrinemia. A high transferrin level may indicate iron deficiency anemia. Levels of serum iron and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) are used in conjunction with transferrin to specify any abnormality.
