TG ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein thyroglobulin, which is encoded by the TG gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to act as a substrate for the production of iodinated thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 2768 residues, a mass of 304.8 kDa, and is a member of the Type-B carboxylesterase/lipase protein family. It is known to be secreted and is notably expressed in the thyroid gland. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally cleaved, sulfated and glycosylated. The TG gene has been associated with the disease, Thyroid dyshormonogenesis. Other alias names for this target include AITD3 and TGN.
The detection range for different TG ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 3.125 pg/mL and as high as 1000 µg/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
