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.
Disease:
Cellular location: Secreted.
Tissue specificity: Expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma.

Genetic variants

Different polymorphic variants of transferrin are known. The sequence shown is the predominant electrophoretic variant (C1 or TF*C1).
