Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test. Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a thyroid-specific glycoprotein (approximately 660 KDa) that serves as the source for thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) production within the lumen of thyroid follicles. For T4 and T3 release, Tg is reabsorbed into thyrocytes and proteolytically degraded, liberating T4 and T3 for secretion.
Test 84382 : Thyroglobulin autoantibodies bind thyroglobulin (Tg), a major thyroid-specific protein. Tg plays a crucial role in thyroid hormone synthesis, storage, and release. Tg is not secreted into the systemic circulation under normal circumstances.
