Description

Transferrin is a protein responsible for transporting iron in the blood. It is synthesized primarily in the liver and binds iron in a highly specific manner. Transferrin plays a crucial role in iron homeostasis, delivering iron to cells for vital processes like oxygen transport, DNA synthesis, and cellular respiration. It also prevents iron overload by binding and transporting excess iron to storage sites. Studying transferrin is important for understanding iron metabolism, diagnosing and treating iron-related disorders such as anemia and hemochromatosis, and investigating the role of iron in various diseases. Transferrin is also used in clinical settings for diagnosing iron deficiency, monitoring iron status, and delivering iron to patients with specific conditions.'

Transferrin: An iron-binding beta1-globulin that is synthesized in the LIVER and secreted into the blood. It plays a central role in the transport of IRON throughout the circulation. A variety of transferrin isoforms exist in humans, including some that are considered markers for specific disease states.

Effects

Transferrin receptor-2 has a regulatory function in iron homeostasis, since its inactivation causes systemic iron overload. Transferrin (Tf) has a major role in T cell activation and proliferation.

Transferrin has shown potential in the delivery of anticancer drugs into primarily proliferating cancer cells that over-express transferrin receptors. Transferrin has been found to explain the link between diseases associated with impaired iron transport and COVID-19 infection.

Dosage Studied

Twenty adult patients undergoing myeloablative conditioning and allogeneic stem cell transplantation were enrolled to receive apotransferrin with one of three dosage regimens. Three parameters associated with iron absorption were identified: a relatively shallow slope for the dose-response curve relating ascorbic acid dosage (1-1000 mg) and percent iron absorption.
