The Cholinesterase-like Domain, Essential in Thyroglobulin Trafficking for Thyroid Hormone Synthesis, Is Required for Protein Dimerization
11 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
The carboxyl-terminal cholinesterase-like (ChEL) domain of thyroglobulin (Tg) has been identified as critically important in Tg export from the endoplasmic reticulum. In a number of human kindreds suffering from congenital hypothyroidism, and in the cog congenital goiter mouse and rdw rat dwarf models, thyroid hormone synthesis is inhibited because of mutations in the ChEL domain that block protein export from...
