Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 7018
Gene name Transferrin
Gene symbol TF
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
HEL-S-71pPRO1557PRO2086TFQTL1
Chromosome 3
Chromosome location 3q22.1
Summary This gene encodes a glycoprotein with an approximate molecular weight of 76.5 kDa. It is thought to have been created as a result of an ancient gene duplication event that led to generation of homologous C and N-terminal domains each of which binds one io

Protein name Serotransferrin (Transferrin) (Beta-1 metal-binding globulin) (Siderophilin)
Protein function Transferrins are iron binding transport proteins which can bind two Fe(3+) ions in association with the binding of an anion, usually bicarbonate. It is responsible for the transport of iron from sites of absorption and heme degradation to those
