We have found the information on transferrin in a reference book:The Plasma Proteins, F.W. Putnam, ed, volume 2, chapter 4, Table II.According to the table, Transferrin is 6 percent carbohydrate, citing G.A. Jamieson, J. Biol. Chem. 240(7), 2914-2920 (1965).The table also gives information on the percentage of each type of monosaccharide that is present.

General description
apo-Transferrin (aTF) human can be supplemented with iron or used to bind free iron present in media. It can be used to transport iron into mammalian cells.
Application
Biochem/physiol Actions
apo-Transferrin (aTF) is an endogenous iron chelator and shows protective effects in the host by scavenging free iron and preventing the formation of toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). It shows a therapeutic effect against thalassemia.[4] After the release of iron, receptor-bound apo-transferrin reaches the cell surface instead of being transported to lysosomes for degradation. The cell surface has a neutral pH that promotes the release of apo-transferrin from its receptor, where it can again circulate and bind additional iron to undergo further rounds of iron delivery to cells.
Other Notes
Non-heme iron-transport protein.
