Studies on the antigenicity of human thyroglobulin. 1983

R L Himsworth, and P G Byfield, and S Copping

Human iodothyronine-binding auto-antisera were used to define a thyroxyl containing antigenic site on thyroglobulin. The peptide sequences flanking the thyroxyl residue are important antigenic determinants of this region and only one such thyroxyl seems to be exposed on the thyroglobulin molecule. Apparent specificity for binding of free thyroxine or triiodothyronine by these auto-antibodies does not necessarily imply the presence of either one or the other in the immunogen.

D013954 Thyroglobulin
D013974 Thyroxine The major hormone derived from the thyroid gland. Thyroxine is synthesized via the iodination of tyrosines (MONOIODOTYROSINE) and the coupling of iodotyrosines (DIIODOTYROSINE) in the THYROGLOBULIN. Thyroxine is released from thyroglobulin by proteolysis and secreted into the blood. Thyroxine is peripherally deiodinated to form TRIIODOTHYRONINE which exerts a broad spectrum of stimulatory effects on cell metabolism.

D014284 Triiodothyronine A T3 thyroid hormone normally synthesized and secreted by the thyroid gland in much smaller quantities than thyroxine (T4). Most T3 is derived from peripheral monodeiodination of T4 at the 5' position of the outer ring of the iodothyronine nucleus. The hormone finally delivered and used by the tissues is mainly T3.
