TRANS | Transferrin

Transferrin is part of the protein composition. Transferrin is responsible for the transport of iron to tissues. It also participates in the regulation of iron concentration in the blood. When iron is deficient, transferrin increases, and as iron concentration increases, its amount decreases. However, transferrin decreases in inflammatory, malignant processes, poor nutrition, and liver diseases.
