Abstract
THE transferring are a group of iron-binding glycoproteins under genetic control which migrate in the (β-globulin region on starch-gel electrophoresis1. Commonly there is a single iron-binding band called transferrin C, but faster (B variants) and slower (D variants) migrating iron-binding bands are occasionally present. Sixteen human transferrin variants have been described, which are controlled by the expression of codominant alleles at a single autosomal locus2–6.
