Transferrin

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: 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.  TRANSFERRINS is also available
