Bacterial transferrin receptor complex

transferrin /trans·fer·rin/ (-fer´in) a glycoprotein mainly produced in the liver, binding and transporting iron, closely related to the apoferritin of the intestinal mucosa.

trans·fer·rin (tr

ns-f

A beta globulin in blood serum that combines with and transports iron. Also called siderophilin.

Transferrin

A protein in blood plasma that carries iron derived from food intake to the liver, spleen, and bone marrow.

transferrin

[transfer′in]

a trace protein present in the blood that is essential in the transport of iron from the intestine into the bloodstream, making it available to the normoblasts in the bone marrow. It also may take part in a slower exchange with ferritin, hemosiderin, and other iron forms in the tissues. See also hemosiderin, iron transport.

transferrin [trans-fer´in]

a glycoprotein that binds and transports iron; most is produced in the liver. A similar compound produced in the intestinal mucosa is apoferritin.

n a trace protein present in the blood that is essential in the transport of iron from the intestine into the bloodstream, making it available to the normoblasts in the bone marrow.

transferrin

a serum globulin that binds and transports iron.

transferrin

Siderophilin An 80-90 kD iron-transporting β-globulin that binds up to 2 atoms of Fe(III) with bicarbonate Ref range 2–4 g/L, US: 250-300 mg/dL. See Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin.
