Human Thyroglobulin Monoclonal Antibody - Clone 1D4

Research tool for

  • ELISA
  • Radioimmunoassay
  • In vivo imaging

 

Thyroglobulin is a large iodinated glycoprotein which is produced by the thyroid gland, functioning as a prohormone in the synthesis of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).  Levels of serum thyroglobulin are elevated in a variety of thyroid diseases, such as Grave’s disease (goiter), subacute thyroiditis and differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
