Abstract
⺠Transferrins (TF) are an ancient family found in all metazoans. ⺠Multiple intragenic and gene duplications have created numerous variations. ⺠At least seven orthologs with different functions have been found in vertebrates. ⺠The number and types of TF receptors differ by ortholog and by family. ⺠Evolutionary comparisons provide clues to the function of individual residues.
