Abstract excerpt
Thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) is a glycoprotein that transports thyroid hormones in blood. Of two naturally occurring variants in man that harbor single proline substitutions (TBG-CD5 and TBG-Montreal), only TBG-CD5 manifests as complete TBG deficiency. In order to determine the pathophysiology of these TBG disorders, we expressed TBG-CD5 and TBG-Montreal (TBG-M), as well as the common type TBG (TBG-C) in...
