Controls or test samples are added to the wells and incubated. Following washing, a horseradish peroxidase (HRP) labelled anti-Human IgG conjugate is added to the wells, which binds to the immobilized thyroglobulin-specific antibodies. TMB is then catalyzed by the HRP to produce a blue color product that changes to yellow after adding an acidic stop solution. The intensity of yellow coloration is directly proportional to the amount of thyroglobulin sample captured in plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nAnti-Thyroglobulin antibodies target the protein thyroglobulin an important component in thyroid physiology. Known also as TG thyroglobulin is a large glycoprotein with a mass of approximately 660 kDa. It is primarily expressed in the thyroid gland specifically in the follicular cells where it functions as a precursor for thyroid hormones. Thyroglobulin serves as the backbone for the synthesis of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) essential hormones for metabolic regulation.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThyroglobulin connects to thyroid hormone production and is stored within the thyroid follicles as a colloid. It acts as a substrate for the synthesis of T3 and T4 hormones after iodination. Colloid resorption releases thyroid hormones into circulation influencing multiple physiological processes such as growth and metabolism. Thyroglobulin does not operate as a part of a complex; it undergoes enzymatic modification individually to produce active hormones.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThyroglobulin plays a critical role in the thyroid hormone synthesis pathway. Iodine uptake by thyroid cells and coupling with thyroglobulin is central to this process. It interacts closely with proteins like thyroperoxidase which catalyzes iodine addition and the sodium\/iodide symporter essential for iodine uptake into cells. The pathway highlights the regulated mechanism that maintains hormone levels for metabolic activities.\u003cbr\u003e\nAutoantibodies targeting thyroglobulin link to thyroid-related conditions such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease. These conditions arise when the immune system mistakenly targets thyroglobulin causing dysregulation or destruction of thyroid tissues. Thyroglobulin antibodies often appear alongside anti-thyroperoxidase antibodies suggesting a combined role in triggering immune-related thyroid dysfunctions. Early detection of anti-thyroglobulin antibodies can help diagnose and manage these conditions effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843755004073,"sku":"ab178631","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab178631","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
