Role of Transferrin in Iron Metabolism

https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/role-of-transferrin-in-iron-metabolismTransferrin plays a vital role in iron metabolism. Transferrin is a glycoprotein and has a molecular weight of ~80 kDa. It contains two homologous iron-binding domains, each of which binds one Fe (III). Transferrin delivers the iron to various cells after binding to the transferrin receptor on the cell surface…
