protein transmeted iron in blood is transferen

Transferrin: A plasma protein that transports iron through the blood to the liver, spleen and bone marrow. The blood transferrin level is tested to determine the cause of anaemia, to examine iron metabolism and to determine the iron-carrying capacity of the blood. Low transferrin can impair haemoglobin production and so lead to anaemia. Low transferrin can be due to poor production of transferrin by the liver or excessive loss of transferrin through the kidneys into the urine. Many conditions including infection and malignancy can depress transferrin levels. The transferrin is abnormally high in iron deficiency anaemia.

Plasma glycoprotein called transferrin.
