Albumin
high capacity, low affinity
transport protein for many
substances, such as: thyroid
hormones, calcium, bilirubin and
fatty acids.

albumin in the blood stream as
salicylates, penicillin and
sulphonamides
A plasma protein that transports
iron through the blood to the
liver, spleen and bone marrow.
It is synthesized mainly in the
liver, and in the endocrine
glands as ovaries and testes.
It reversibly binds numerous
cations iron, copper, zinc, cobalt
and calcium-although only iron
binding appear to have
physiological significance

globulin TRF is normally about 30-40%
protein saturated with iron and its half
life 7 days.

monitoring of anemia.
The largest plasma protein.

Because of its large size, it tends to remain in the intravascular compartment.
