Anti-Thyroglobulin Antibody (12103)

Purified human thyroglobulin

This monoclonal antibody is formulated in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein or preservatives added.

Liquid

Antibodies are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates.

Upon initial thawing, appropriately aliquot and store at -80°C. For long-term storage, keep at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody specific to Thyroglobulin

Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a 660 kDa, dimeric protein produced by the follicular cells of the thyroid. Thyroglobulin accounts for approximately half of the protein content of the thyroid gland. Human TG is a homodimer of subunits each containing 2768 amino acids as synthesized (a short signal peptide may be removed from the N-terminus in the mature protein). Tg is used by the thyroid gland to produce the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).

Acts as a substrate for the production of iodinated thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) (PubMed:32025030, PubMed:17532758). The synthesis of T3 and T4 involves iodination of selected tyrosine residues of TG/thyroglobulin followed by their oxidative coupling in the thyroid follicle lumen (PubMed:32025030). Following TG re-internalization and lysosomal-mediated proteolysis, T3 and T4 are released from the polypeptide backbone leading to their secretion into the bloodstream (PubMed:32025030). One dimer produces 7 thyroid hormone molecules (PubMed:32025030). {PubMed:17532758, PubMed:32025030}.
