Product Introduction:

Transferrin is the main iron transfer protein in plasma, providing the necessary iron for cellular internalization and metabolism. Research has found that all cell growth is inseparable from transferrin. Not only does maintaining normal cellular metabolism rely on iron in its biologically active form, but iron is also a cofactor of some enzymes, such as RNA polymerase and DNA synthase. It is also an important component of hemoglobin.

Transferrin is a plasma glycoprotein isolated from plasma. Bovine transferrin exists in two molecular forms with molecular weights of 74KD and 78KD, respectively. Each transferrin molecule can bind two molecules of iron ions through the C-terminus and N-terminus structural sites, so transferrin exists in three forms: deiron (not bound to iron ions), saturated iron (bound to two molecules of iron ions), and partially saturated. Under physiological conditions, only one-third of transferrin molecules are saturated with iron.
