| 1 | These transferrin forms differ in the carbohydrate parts, especially the amount of sialic acid. | N-Acetylneuraminic Acid | transferrin | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | However, in alcoholics during abstinence the newly formed transferrin has a higher sialic acid content than most of the transferrin already present in the blood. | N-Acetylneuraminic Acid | transferrin | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | This indicates that the elevated concentration of Tf5.7 with a low sialic acid content, found in alcoholics is not due to a defect at sialylation, but most probably caused by an impaired uptake of sialic acid-deficient transferrin by the hepatocytes due to membrane dysfunction. | N-Acetylneuraminic Acid | transferrin | Homo sapiens |
