Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is an integral apical membrane glycoprotein of thyroid follicular cells and plays a key role in thyroid hormone biosynthesis. It is a homodimer comprised of two identical subunits of approx. 100kDa. TPO is one of the main autoantigenic targets in autoimmune thyroid disease of humans. Anti-TPO autoantibodies are present in 90% of cases of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and 75% of cases of Graves’ disease.
