• To extend the shelf-life of this product, add an equal volume of glycerol to make a final concentration of 50% glycerol and store at -20°C
• Country of Origin: USA Transferrins (Tf) are an approximately 80kDa blood plasma glycoprotein synthesized by the liver
• They are iron binding transport proteins which can bind two Fe(3+) ions in association with the binding of an anion, usually bicarbonate
• It is responsible for the transport of iron from sites of absorption and heme degradation to those of storage and utilization
• Transferrin is the primary blood iron transport protein and under normal conditions; approximately one-third of total blood transferrin contains bound iron
• Measurement of blood transferrin levels can be used as an indicator for blood iron-carrying capacity and abnormalities of iron metabolism such as anaemia, iron overload and haemochromatosis.Serum transferrin may also have a further role in stimulating cell proliferation.
