Transferrins are iron-binding blood plasma glycoproteins that control the level of free iron in biological fluids.
In humans, it is encoded by the TF gene.
In humans, transferrin consists of a polypeptide chain containing 679 amino acids.
The protein is composed of alpha helices and beta sheets to form two domains.
The N- and C- terminal sequences are represented by globular lobes and between the two lobes is an iron-binding site.
Transferrin is a glycoprotein that binds iron very tightly but reversibly.
Although iron bound to transferrin is less than 0.1% (4 mg) of the total body iron, it is the most important iron pool, with the highest rate of turnover (25 mg/24 h).
Transferrin has a molecular weight of around 80 kDa and contains 2 specific high-affinity Fe(III) binding sites.
The affinity of transferrin for Fe(III) is extremely high (1023 M−1 at pH 7.4) but decreases progressively with decreasing pH below neutrality.
