Background:

Lactoferrin (LF) is a vital functional protein with antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties crucial for human health.
Aberrant LF levels are linked to serious conditions including inflammatory bowel disease, Alzheimer's disease, and dry eye disease.
Emerging research highlights LF's potential as a diagnostic biomarker for these diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the diverse biological functions of lactoferrin.
To evaluate lactoferrin's utility as a potential disease biomarker.
To present and discuss current methods for lactoferrin detection.

Main Methods:

Comprehensive literature review of studies on lactoferrin's biofunctions.
Analysis of research investigating lactoferrin as a disease biomarker.
Survey and critical discussion of existing lactoferrin detection methodologies.

Main Results:

Lactoferrin exhibits significant antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory activities.
Abnormal lactoferrin levels correlate with specific diseases, suggesting biomarker potential.
Various methods for lactoferrin detection have been developed and are currently in use.

Conclusions:

Lactoferrin possesses multifaceted health-promoting properties.
Lactoferrin shows promise as a valuable biomarker for diagnosing inflammatory bowel disease, Alzheimer's disease, and dry eye disease.
Further development of novel sensing systems for lactoferrin detection is encouraged.
