Thyroid hormone binding in serum of 15 vertebrate species: isolation of thyroxine-binding globulin and prealbumin analogs. 1985

M Larsson, and T Pettersson, and A Carlström

The binding of [125I]T4 to serum proteins was studied in human, monkey, cattle, sheep, goat, water buffalo, horse, swine, dog, cat, rabbit, rat, chicken, frog, and salmon. Attempts were made to isolate thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) and thyroxine-binding prealbumin (TBPA) from serum of all species, utilizing purification methods based on the specific properties of these proteins. TBPA was found to exist in all species examined. The protein was found anodal to albumin only in human, monkey, horse, and chicken. In cattle, swine, dog, cat, rabbit, frog, and salmon, TBPA was found cathodal to albumin, while sheep, goat, water buffalo, and rat had identical mobility of albumin and TBPA. The presence of TBG was demonstrated in larger mammals. In cat, rabbit, rat, chicken, frog, and salmon, TBG could not be demonstrated. The thyroxine-binding capacity of TBPA in serum varied from 1000 to greater than 6000 nmol/l and that of TBG between 150 and 600 nmol/l. TBPA from all species except salmon showed affinity to human retinol-binding protein. The presence of TBPA in all vertebrates suggests prealbumin to be a far more important thyroxine carrier than earlier anticipated.

D011228 Prealbumin A tetrameric protein, molecular weight between 50,000 and 70,000, consisting of 4 equal chains, and migrating on electrophoresis in 3 fractions more mobile than serum albumin. Its concentration ranges from 7 to 33 per cent in the serum, but levels decrease in liver disease. Proalbumin,Transthyretin
D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
