功能: disease:Defects in TG are a cause of some forms of goiter [MIM:188450]. Goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland. This is sometimes linked to hypothyroidism.,disease:Variations in TG are associated with susceptibility to autoimmune thyroid disease type 3 (AITD3) [MIM:608175]. AITDs including Graves disease (GD) and Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT), are among the most common human autoimmune diseases. They are complex diseases, which are caused by an interaction between susceptibility genes and nongenetic factors, such as infection.,function:Precursor of the iodinated thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).,online information:Thyroglobulin entry,PTM:Sulfated.,similarity:Belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family.,similarity:Contains 11 thyroglobulin type-1 domains.,subunit:Homodimer.,tissue specificity:Thyroid gland specific.,
细胞定位: Secreted . Secreted into the thyroid follicle lumen (PubMed:19509106). Localizes to colloid globules, a structure formed in the thyroid follicle lumen consisting of cross-linked TG arranged in concentric layers (PubMed:8626858, PubMed:11082042). .
组织表达: Specifically expressed in the thyroid gland.
