transferrin

transferrin plays a crucial role in iron transport.

low transferrin levels can indicate iron deficiency.

the transferrin saturation test measures iron levels in the blood.

increased transferrin production occurs during iron deficiency.

transferrin binds to iron ions to facilitate transport.

measuring transferrin levels can help diagnose anemia.

transferrin receptors are important for cellular iron uptake.

transferrin is synthesized primarily in the liver.

elevated transferrin levels can be a sign of inflammation.

transferrin can influence the immune response to infections.
