Transferrin is the major iron-transport protein, carrying 60% to 70% of the body's iron. For this reason, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) and transferrin are sometimes referred to interchangeably, even though other proteins carry iron and contribute to the TIBC. Unbound iron is highly ...
SERUM IRON CONCENTRATION (SI) AND TRANSFERRIN SATURATION (SAT) ARE LOWER IN NORMAL CHILDREN THAN IN ADULTSPediatric Research publishes original papers, invited reviews, and commentaries on the etiologies of diseases of children and disorders of development, extending from molecular biology to epidemiology...
Transferrin saturation was used to divide the material arbitrarily into women with and without iron deficiency. The dividing point chosen was 16%. The women thus defined as iron deficient had lower mean haemoglobin values than women in the total population sample and were more often anaemic. They...

Transferrin is present in the blood in different iron-bound forms: devoid of iron (apotransferrin, ATf), as monoferric Tf, or as diferric Tf (holotransferrin, HTf). The relative amount of iron-free and iron-loaded Tf in blood is given in terms of the % Tf saturation (TSAT), an ...
The transferrin–receptor complexes are then internalized by endocytosis, and iron is released from transferrin by a process involving endosomal acidification (Figure 1). It has been shown that the transporter, DMT1 (also known as Nramp2 or DCT1), is likely responsible for the egress of iron ...
Levels of ferritin and transferrin were prospectively associated with the development of T2DM [99]. Levels of ferritin were more predictive of T2DM occurrence in lean individuals. Counterintuitively, individuals with a high transferrin saturation were less likely to develop T2DM, suggesting that the ...
Transferrin saturation. This test measures the percentage of transferrin that is attached to iron. Taking the Tests Some tests require you to stop eating about 12 hours before you give blood. Your health care provider will take a sample from a vein in your arm and send it to a lab. The ...
