Structural highlights
FunctionTRFE_ANAPL 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 of storage and utilization. Serum transferrin may also have a further role in stimulating cell proliferation. Ovotransferrin has a bacteriostatic function. Its concentration in avian egg is the highest concentration of any transferrin in vivo (By similarity). Evolutionary ConservationCheck, as determined by ConSurfDB.
