thyroglobulin

A blood test to measure your thyroglobulin level.

Tests of thyroid function are usually normal, but thyroglobulin can be elevated.

Following thyroidectomy, it may take many weeks before thyroglobulin levels become undetectable.

Thyroglobulin type 1 repeats are thought to be involved in the control of proteolytic degradation.

Thyroglobulin has been shown to interact with Binding immunoglobulin protein.

At need, the thyroxine content of the thyroglobulin is stripped off and sent out into the bloodstream.

High levels of thyroglobulin may mean that the cancer has spread (metastasized) to other parts of your body.

The pertechnetate ion is not incorporated into the thyroglobulin.

Circulating thyroglobulin has a half-life of 65 hours.

Although we could not determine the sensitivity of thyroglobulin, the specificity of about 100% agrees with previous results.

Thyroglobulin type-1 repeat is an evolutionary conserved protein domain.

Thyroglobulin is not produced by medullary or anaplastic thyroid carcinoma.

If thyroid cancer does recur, it may be found during a physical exam, on an ultrasound, or as a result of increasing thyroglobulin levels.

It is surrounded by follicular cells and filled with colloid, a concentrated solution of thyroglobulin.

Thyroglobulin can be used as a tumor marker for well-differentiated papillary thyroid cancer.

The lysosomal enzymes cleave the T from the iodinated thyroglobulin.

After thyroglobulin levels become undetectable following thyroidectomy, levels can be serially monitored.

The thyroperoxidase iodinates the tyrosyl residues of the thyroglobulin within the colloid.

- May inhibit iodination of tyrosyl residues in thyroglobulin.

Early in his career he developed the thyroglobulin assay, which remains one of the most commonly used methods for detecting recurrent thyroid cancer.

Serum thyroglobulin level.

If your thyroid gland was removed because of cancer, your doctor may test for thyroglobulin, a protein made by both normal and cancerous cells.

Thyroglobulin should not be confused with Thyroxine-binding globulin, a carrier protein responsible for carrying the thyroid hormones in the blood.

Metabolism of thyroglobulin occurs in the liver and via thyroid gland recycling of the protein.

The thyroglobulin was synthesised in the ER of the follicular cell and secreted into the colloid.
