== Function ==
'''Transferrin''' or '''serotransferrin''' (TF) is an iron-binding protein.  TF delivers iron from absorption centers in the duodendum and white blood cell macrophages to all tissues<ref>PMID:2208733</ref>.  TF contains two lobes: at the N  and C termini.  '''Ovotransferrin''' (OTF) is a glycosylated TF of egg white.  For details see [[Molecular Playground/Transferrin]].
