NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a membrane-bound glycoprotein. The encoded protein acts as an enzyme and plays a central role in thyroid gland function. The protein functions in the iodination of tyrosine residues in thyroglobulin and phenoxy-ester formation between pairs of iodinated tyrosines to generate the thyroid hormones, thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Mutations in this gene are associated with several disorders of thyroid hormonogenesis, including congenital hypothyroidism, congenital goiter, and thyroid hormone organification defect IIA. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
Uniprot Description
TPO: Iodination and coupling of the hormonogenic tyrosines in thyroglobulin to yield the thyroid hormones T(3) and T(4). An alternative splicing in the thyroperoxidase mRNA can cause Graves' disease. Defects in TPO are the cause of thyroid dyshormonogenesis 2A (TDH2A). A disorder due to defective conversion of accumulated iodide to organically bound iodine. The iodide organification defect can be partial or complete. Belongs to the peroxidase family. XPO subfamily. 8 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) (Catalog #AAA310730) is an Antibody produced from Host: Mouse. Hybridization of Sp2/0 myeloma cells with spleen cells from Balb/c mice. Source: Ascites and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. Can be used for affinity purification of human thyroid peroxidase. Each laboratory should determine an optimum working titer for use in its particular application. Other applications have not been tested but use in such assays should not necessarily be ex. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) 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 "Thyroid peroxidase (TPO), 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
