  • Title: The physiology of iron, transferrin, and ferritin.
    Author: van Eijk HG, de Jong G.
    Journal: Biol Trace Elem Res; 1992 Oct; 35(1):13-24. PubMed ID: 1384624.
    Abstract:
    The role of transferrin in iron metabolism is evaluated, both with regard to iron uptake by transferrin and to iron uptake from transferrin by different cells. The heterogeneity of serum transferrin is described and the implications of the heterogeneity are discussed. The composition of ferritin is given and the value of serum ferritins are discussed.
