Description
Description: Transferrin is a monomeric glycoprotein found in plasma at an average concentration of 250 mg/100 ml. The specific iron-binding protein in plasma, it has a role in the transportation and distribution of iron among the body organs, in iron metabolism and prevention of iron loss via the kidneys. Stored in bone marrow as Tf-bound iron, it also possesses bacteriostatic and fungistatic activity. Clinically, decreases in transferrin are observed in congenital disorders, newborns, inflammatory diseases, hypoproteinemias and nephrotic syndrome; increases are found in pregnancy, iron-deficiency anemias, and inoculation hepatitis. Transferrin is required by all types of cells in cultures for maximal growth. It is, therefore, an important transport factor used in defined culture media.
