Transferrin (also known as transferrin, TRF, siderophilin) is the main iron-containing protein in the plasma and is responsible for carrying iron absorbed by the digestive tract and iron released by degradation by red blood cells. It enters the bone marrow in the form of a TRF-Fe3 + complex for the production of mature red blood cells.

TRF has a molecular weight of about 77,000 and is a single-chain glycoprotein with a sugar content of about 6%. TRF reversibly binds multivalent ions, including iron, copper, zinc, cobalt, and the like. Each molecule of TRF can bind two trivalent iron
