| 1. | Various forms of transferrin exist, with differing levels of sialylation.
|
| 2. | Human transferrin is encoded by the " TF " gene.
|
| 3. | A high transferrin level may indicate an iron deficiency anemia.
|
| 4. | See interpretation of TIBC . Low transferrin likely indicates malnutrition.
|
| 5. | These include transferrin receptor, D-beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase
|
| 6. | Transferrin does not belong to either of these classes.
|
| 7. | Biochemical changes reflecting protein deficiency include low serum albumin and low serum transferrin.
|
| 8. | In blood plasma, iron is carried tightly bound to the protein transferrin.
|
| 9. | Transferrin can instead be removed by size exclusion chromatography.
|
| 10. | Transferrin is also associated with the innate immune system.
