NCBI Description
There are three proteins including thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG), transthyretin and albumin responsible for carrying the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) in the bloodstream. This gene encodes the major thyroid hormone transport protein, TBG, in serum. It belongs to the serpin family in genomics, but the protein has no inhibitory function like many other members of the serpin family. Mutations in this gene result in TGB deficiency, which has been classified as partial deficiency, complete deficiency, and excess, based on the level of serum TBG. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found, but the full-length nature of these variants has not been determined.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]
Uniprot Description
SERPINA7: Major thyroid hormone transport protein in serum. Defects in SERPINA7 are a cause of thyroxine-binding globulin deficiency (TBG deficiency). Mutations in the SERPINA7 gene can result as a whole spectrum of deficiencies, characterized by either reduced or increased TBG levels in the serum. Patients show, respectively, reduced or elevated protein- bound iodine but are euthyroid. Belongs to the serpin family.
Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: Xq22.3
Molecular Function: serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity
Disease: Thyroxine-binding Globulin Quantitative Trait Locus
Product Notes
The TBG serpina7 (Catalog #
AAA2040827) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The APC/CY7-Linked Polyclonal Antibody to Thyroxine Binding Globulin (TBG) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Thyroxine Binding Globulin (TBG) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Formalin/Paraffin, ELISA (ELISA). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the TBG serpina7 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
"Thyroxine Binding Globulin (TBG), Polyclonal 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.
