Transferrin (C0040679)

Definition (MSH) 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.
Definition (NCI) Serotransferrin (698 aa, ~77 kDa) is encoded by the human TF gene. This protein is involved in iron sequestration and transport.
Definition (CSP) serum beta globin that transports and binds iron.
Concepts Biologically Active Substance (T123) , Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein (T116)
