Human thyroglobulin (TG) is a precursor of tetraiodothyronine or thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), two thyroid hormones (TH). Its structure is essential for the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of thyroid-related diseases. | Human thyroglobulin (TG) is a precursor of tetraiodothyronine or thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), two thyroid hormones (TH).
