They may look for TgAb whenever a thyroglobulin test is performed to see if the antibody is present and likely to interfere.
12.
This makes it more reactive, and the iodine is attached to the active tyrosine units in thyroglobulin by the enzyme thyroid peroxidase.
13.
Ingestion of thyroid hormone also suppresses thyroglobulin levels helping to differentiate thyrotoxicosis factitia from other causes of hyperthyroidism, in which serum thyroglobulin is elevated.

15.
Thyroglobulin ( Tg ) is a 660 kDa, dimeric protein produced by the follicular cells of the thyroid and used entirely within the thyroid gland.
16.
Iodotyrosine deiodinase is located on the apical plasma membrane of the thyroid colloid, where mono-and diiodotyrosine are produced from this breakdown of thyroglobulin.
17.
"' Thyroglobulin "'( Tg ) is a 660 kDa, follicular cells of the thyroid and used entirely within the thyroid gland.
18.
Various autoantibodies may be present against thyroid peroxidase, thyroglobulin and TSH receptors, although a small percentage of patients may have none of these antibodies present.
19.
In large doses, iodides inhibit proteolysis of thyroglobulin, which permits TH to be synthesized and stored in colloid, but not released into the bloodstream.
20.
LRP2 is expressed in epithelial cells of the thyroid ( thyrocytes ), where it can serve as a receptor for the protein thyroglobulin ( Tg ).
