Human transferrin is encoded by the TF gene and produced as a 76 kDa glycoprotein. [7] [8] Transferrin glycoproteins bind iron tightly, but reversibly. Although iron bound to transferrin is less than 0.1% (4 mg) of total body iron, it forms the most vital iron pool with the highest rate of turnover (25 mg/24 h).
Lipoproteins may be classified as five major groups, listed from larger and lower density to smaller and higher density. Lipoproteins are larger and less dense when the fat to protein ratio is increased. They are classified on the basis of electrophoresis, ultracentrifugation and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy via the Vantera Analyzer ...
Transferrin, carries iron ions in the ferric form (Fe 3+) Vitamin D-binding protein, carries vitamin D; Hormones.
Lipoproteins are divided into five subgroups, by density/size (an inverse relationship), which also correlates with function and incidence of cardiovascular events. Unlike the larger lipoprotein particles, which deliver fat molecules to cells, HDL particles remove fat molecules from cells.

Lipoproteins are particles of protein and fat that transport cholesterol within our bodies. Lp(a), mostly produced in the liver, is one form, along with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high ...
Plasma proteins, sometimes referred to as blood proteins, are proteins present in blood plasma.They serve many different functions, including transport of lipids, hormones, vitamins and minerals in activity and functioning of the immune system.
The cholesteryl esters can be transferred, with the help of CETP (cholesterylester transfer protein) in exchange for triglycerides, to other lipoproteins (such as LDL and VLDL), and these lipoproteins can be taken up by secreting unesterified cholesterol into the bile or by converting cholesterol to bile acids.
