Created page with "<section begin="clinical biochemistry" />'''Transferrin''' is a serum protein whose function is to transport iron in the blood; more specifically, each molecule of transferrin binds two Fe<sup>3+</sup> ions with high affinity. Transferrin binds to transferrin receptors on cells which require iron, after which the transferrin-transferrin receptor complex is endocytosed. The pure protein, non-iron-bound form of transferrin is called '''apoferritin'''. Transferrin is a..."
