MAb to Thyroglobulin
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a glycoprotein homodimer produced predominantly by the thryroid gland. It acts as a substrate for the synthesis of thyroxine and triiodothyronine as well as the storage of the inactive forms of thyroid hormone and iodine. Thyroglobulin is secreted from the endoplasmic reticulum to its site of iodination, and subsequent thyroxine biosynthesis, in the follicular lumen. Mutations in this gene cause thyroid dyshormonogenesis, manifested as goiter, and are associated with moderate to severe congenital hypothyroidism. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with susceptibility to autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) such as Graves disease and Hashimoto thryoiditis. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
Uniprot Description
Function: Precursor of the iodinated thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
Subunit structure: Homodimer.
Subcellular location: Secreted.
Tissue specificity: Thyroid gland specific.
Post-translational modification: Sulfated tyrosines are desulfated during iodination.
Involvement in disease: Thyroid dyshormonogenesis 3 (TDH3) [MIM:274700]: A disorder due to thyroid dyshormonogenesis, causing large goiters of elastic and soft consistency in the majority of patients. Although the degree of thyroid dysfunction varies considerably among patients with defective thyroglobulin synthesis, patients usually have a relatively high serum free triiodothyronine (T3) concentration with disproportionately low free tetraiodothyronine (T4) level. The maintenance of relatively high free T3 levels prevents profound tissue hypothyroidism except in brain and pituitary, which are dependent on T4 supply, resulting in neurologic and intellectual defects in some cases.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.20 Ref.22 Ref.23 Ref.24 Ref.25Autoimmune thyroid disease 3 (AITD3) [MIM:608175]: A complex autoimmune disorder comprising two related diseases affecting the thyroid: Graves disease and Hashimoto thyroiditis. In both disorders, thyroid-reactive T-cells are formed and infiltrate the thyroid gland. In Graves disease, the majority of the T-cells undergo a Th2 differentiation and activate B cells to produce antibodies against the TSH receptor, which stimulate the thyroid and cause clinical hyperthyroidism. In contrast, Hashimoto thyroiditis is characterized by Th1 switching of the thyroid-infiltrating T-cells, which induces apoptosis of thyroid follicular cells and clinical hypothyroidism.Note: Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family.Contains 11 thyroglobulin type-1 domains.

Product Notes
The TG tg (Catalog #AAA313222) is an Antibody produced from Host: Mouse. Hybridization of Sp2/0 myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice.; Source: Cell Culture and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Thyroglobulin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA). Detection of human thyroglobulin in two-site enzyme immunoassay. CAN PAIR WITH ITSELF IN ELISA-EIA-Pr. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the TG tg for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Thyroglobulin, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
