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 ...
Iron accumulation and iron balance dysregulation are observed in animal models of retinal degeneration. Recently, we observed iron overload in ocular fluids from retinal detachment patients and highly transferrin saturation. As therapeutic strategy, we used transferrin (TF), the physiological iron ...
If your TIBC level is high, it means more transferrin is free because you have low iron. Unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC). This test measures how much transferrin isn’t attached to iron. Transferrin saturation. This test measures the percentage of transferrin that is attached to iron....
At low transferrin saturation, the first mechanism is quantitatively most important, at high transferrin saturation the latter mechanism becomes more significant. A mechanism whereby transferrin-bound iron is not endocytosed but reduced at and translocated through the plasma membrane has also been invoked...
