Transferrin

Transferrin

The Fortress Diagnostics immunoturbidimetric transferrin assay is for the quantitative determination of transferrin in human serum and plasma.

Transferrin is the iron transport protein in serum. In cases of iron deficiency, the degree of transferrin saturation appears to be an extremely sensitive indicator of functional iron depletion. The ferritin levels are depressed when there is a deficiency of storage iron.
