Transferrin is a blood plasma glycoprotein that plays a central role in iron metabolism by delivering ferric ions to various tissues, such as the liver, spleen, and bone marrow . Transferrin has a high affinity for ferric iron; therefore, there is little free iron in the body as transferrin binds almost all plasma iron.

Transferrin saturation
A low transferrin saturation is a common indicator of iron deficiency anemia whereas a high transferrin saturation may indicate iron overload or hemochromatosis Transferrin saturation is also called transferrin saturation index (TSI) or transferrin saturation percentage (TS%)

Transferrin receptor
Transferrin receptor (TfR) is a carrier protein for transferrin. Earlier two transferrin receptors in humans, transferrin receptor 1 and transferrin receptor 2 had been characterized and until recently cellular iron

Transferrin receptor 1
TfR1 is required for iron import from transferrin into cells by endocytosis. Each monomer binds one holo-transferrin molecule creating an iron-Tf-TfR complex which enters the cell by endocytosis.

Transferrin receptor 2
This protein is involved in the uptake of transferrin-bound iron into cells by endocytosis, although its role is minor compared to transferrin receptor See also
