Identifies the transferrin receptor responsible for iron uptake in cells. CD71 is a useful marker for detecting erythroid precursors without interference from mature erythrocytes and aids in diagnosing erythroid leukemia, benign erythroid proliferative disorders, and myelodysplastic syndromes. It specifically highlights erythroid precursors in both normal and abnormal bone marrow.
