Transferrin is the main protein in the blood that binds to iron and transports it throughout the body. Transferrin levels rise with iron deficiency and fall in cases of iron overload.Transferrin is also responsible for circadian variation in serum iron (which peaks in the AM).ormally, iron is absorbed from food and transported throughout the body by transferrin, which is produced by the liver. About 70% of the iron is transported to the bone marrow and incorporated into hemoglobin within red blood cells.
Human transferrin is encoded by the TF gene. Transferrin glycoproteins bind iron tightly, but reversibly. Although iron bound to transferrin is less than 0.1% (4 mg) of total body iron, it forms the most vital iron pool with the highest rate of turnover (25 mg/24 h).Transferrin has a molecular weight of around 80 KDa and contains two specific high-affinity Fe(III) binding sites.ach transferrin molecule has the ability to carry two iron ions in the ferric form (Fe3+). The gene coding for transferrin in humans is located in chromosome band 3q21. Medical professionals may check serum transferrin level in iron deficiency and in iron overload disorders such as hemochromatosis.
