Lactoferrin, a major functional protein in human health maintenance, has potential as a biomarker for diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and Alzheimer's disease. Various methods have been developed for detecting lactoferrin levels. These studies aim to inspire the development of new sensing systems for lactoferrin detection.
Lactoferrin (LF) is one of the major functional proteins in maintaining human health due to its antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory activities. Abnormal levels of LF in the human body are related to some serious diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, Alzheimer's disease and dry eye disease. Recent studies indicate that LF can be used as a biomarker for diagnosis of these diseases. Many methods have been developed to detect the level of LF. In this review, the biofunctions of LF and its potential to work as a biomarker are introduced. In addition, the current methods of detecting lactoferrin have been presented and discussed. We hope that this review will inspire efforts in the development of new sensing systems for LF detection.
