Transferrin Antigen Rapid Test Kit

●Transferrin is a blood plasma glycoprotein that plays a central role in iron metabolism and is responsible for ferric-ion delivery.  Transferrin functions as the most critical ferric pool in the body.  It transports iron through the blood to various tissues, such as the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. It is an essential biochemical marker of body iron status.
●Transferrin divides into subgroups; these are serum transferrin, lactotransferrin, and melanotransferrin. Hepatocytes produce serum transferrin found in the serum, CSF, and semen. Mucosal epithelial cells produce lactotransferrin seen in bodily secretions such as milk. Lactotransferrin has antioxidants and antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. All plasma iron is bound to transferrin. The transferrin-bound iron complex turnover rate is about ten times a day, which is essential to meet the daily demands of erythropoiesis. Therefore, transferrin acts as a balance between reticuloendothelial iron release and bone marrow uptake.  Once iron is bound to transferrin, it is transported by transferrin to the bone marrow for the production of hemoglobin and portions of erythrocytes. The human body loses iron through perspiration, epithelial cell desquamation, and menstruation. Iron loss is obligatory, and there are no specific means to regulate it. Therefore, iron homeostasis is hugely dependent on the tight regulation of absorption, which occurs mostly in the proximal intestine. The iron-bound transferrin is vital to distribute iron to the different cells of the body.
