- Transferrin: a blood-derived component; a good marker for gastrointestinal bleeding
- Calprotectin: a neutrophil cytosolic protein with antimicrobial properties, which is present at increased concentration in stool during bowel inflammation
- Lactoferrin: a glycoprotein component of neutrophil secondary granules, released from fecal leukocytes; may serve as a marker of inflammation in the intestine.
