The answer to this question would be: increases

Transferrin receptor is a molecule that used for iron transportation. Transferrin will insert the iron molecule into the cells.
When body cells need iron, the transferrin receptor will increases because it will increase the iron absorption rate. It will be found in iron deficiency anemia.
