Background: Thyroglobulin

Human Thyroglobulin (Tg) gene is localized at position 8q242-8q243. The gene covers a genome area of at least 300 000 bp and contains at least 37 exons. Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a dimeric 660 kDa glycoprotein produced by follicular cells (thyrocytes) in thyroid gland and stored in the follicular colloid of the gland. Tg is heterogenic due to post-translational modifications, such as iodination, glycosylation, sulfatation, phosphorylation and it is highly sensitivity to proteolysis.  Acting as a substrate, Tg is used for the synthesis of thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).  Tg level can serve as a tumor marker of papillary and follicular thyroid cancer and elevated levels of anti-Tg antibodies in blood can be indicative of Graves disease.
