Application Note | Anti-Thyroglobulin antibody has been tested by western blot and is suitable for the detection of thyroglobulin in ELISA, immunohistochemistry, and immunoprecipitation. For immunohistochemistry, both frozen sections and formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections can be used without epitope retrieval or enzyme digestion. This antibody is specific for the 330 kDa thyroglobulin protein. Thyroglobulin shows a cytoplasmic localization. Thyroid tissue can be used as a positive control. |
Physical State | Liquid (sterile filtered) |
Buffer | 0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.5 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2 |
Immunogen | This protein A purified monoclonal antibody was produced by repeated immunizations with human thyroglobulin protein. |
Preservative | 0.01% (w/v) Sodium Azide |
Gene ID | 7038 |

Other Names | 7038 |
Purity | This protein A purified mouse monoclonal antibody reacts specifically with thyroglobulin in human tissues. The antibody recognizes a 330-kDa band corresponding to thyroglobulin. Cross reactivity with thyroglobulin from mouse, rat and dog will occur. Cross reactivity with thyroglobulin from other sources has not been determined. |
Storage Condition | Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. |
Precautions Note | This product is for research use only and is not intended for therapeutic or diagnostic applications. |
Name | TG (HGNC:11764) |

Function | Acts as a substrate for the production of iodinated thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) (PubMed:17532758, PubMed:32025030). The synthesis of T3 and T4 involves iodination of selected tyrosine residues of TG/thyroglobulin followed by their oxidative coupling in the thyroid follicle lumen (PubMed:32025030). Following TG re-internalization and lysosomal-mediated proteolysis, T3 and T4 are released from the polypeptide backbone leading to their secretion into the bloodstream (PubMed:32025030). One dimer produces 7 thyroid hormone molecules (PubMed:32025030). |
Cellular Location | Secreted. Note=Secreted into the thyroid follicle lumen (PubMed:19509106). Localizes to colloid globules, a structure formed in the thyroid follicle lumen consisting of cross-linked TG arranged in concentric layers (PubMed:11082042, PubMed:8626858). |
Tissue Location | Specifically expressed in the thyroid gland. |

Background
Thyroglobulin (Tg) is synthesized by the follicular epithelial cells of the thyroid and secreted from the thyroid gland with the stimulation of TSH and/or thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins. Thyroglobulin is a prognostic marker for Graves` disease. Thyroglobulin antibody has been useful in the positive identification of thyroid carcinomas of the papillary and follicular types.
