  2. Physiology
    1. Radioimmunoassay of major storage of Thyroid Hormone
    2. TBG binds Thyroid Hormone in circulation
      1. Thyroxine (T4) is 99.97% protein bound
      2. Triiodothyronine (T3) is 99.7% protein bound
  3. Interpretation: General
    1. TBG effects measurement of total T4 and T3
      1. Increased TBG increases total T4 and T3 measurements
        1. Decreased percent Free T4 and T3
        2. No change in Free T4 and Free T3
      2. Decreased TBG decreases total T4 and T3 measurements
        1. Increased percent Free T4 and T3
        2. No change in Free T4 and Free T3

Thyroxine-Binding Globulin (C0087090)

Definition (MSH) A thyroid hormone transport protein found in serum. It binds about 75% of circulating THYROXINE and 70% of circulating TRIIODOTHYRONINE.
Definition (NCI) Thyroxine-binding globulin (415 aa, ~46 kDa) is encoded by the human SERPINA7 gene. This protein plays a role in both binding to and transport of both thyroxine and triiodothyroxine.
