TG Antibody / Thyroglobulin

SKU: orb606462

Description

Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a 660 kDa, dimeric protein produced by the follicular cells of the thyroid and used entirely within the thyroid gland. Thyroglobulin protein accounts for approximately half of the protein content of the thyroid gland. Human TG (HTG) is a homodimer of subunits each containing 2768 amino acids as synthesized (a short signal peptide may be removed from the N-terminus in the mature protein).The protein is a precursor of the thyroid hormones; these are produced when thyroglobulin's tyrosine residues are combined with iodine and the protein is subsequently cleaved. Each thyroglobulin molecule contains approximately 100-120 tyrosine residues, but only a small number (20) of these are subject to iodination by thyroperoxidase in the follicular colloid. Therefore, each Tg molecule forms only approximately 10 thyroid hormone molecules. [Wiki]

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: IHC-P
• Dilution range: Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0.5-1ug/ml for 30 min at RT
• Reactivity: Human
• Application Notes:
  The stated application concentrations are suggested starting points. Titration of the recombinant Thyroglobulin antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

IHC testing of FFPE human thyroid carcinoma with recombinant Thyroglobulin antibody (clone TGB/1968R). Required HIER: boil tissue sections in pH9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.

SDS-PAGE analysis of purified, BSA-free recombinant Thyroglobulin antibody (clone TGB/1968R) as confirmation of integrity and purity.
