Principle
protein regulators are:
transferrin
transferrin
receptors
apoferritin
Facts related
to transferrin:
Binds
with Fe+++ in plasma and carries it to bone marrow
Plasma
to erythroblast
Migrates
in the b-globulin fraction on SPE
Binds
to receptors on erythroblast membrane
Produced
by hepatocytes
Transferrin
binds to these
Binds
iron to form ferritin – storage form
