Abstract excerpt
Thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) is the main transport protein for thyroxine (T4) in blood. It shares considerable sequence homology with alpha 1-antitrypsin (AT) and other members of the serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) superfamily of proteins. The crystallographic structure of AT has been determined and was found to represent the archetype of the serpins. This model has been used for structure-function...
