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 pathophysiolog...
