The tissue specific expression of thyroglobulin and parathyroid hormone is commonly used for diagnosis and follow up of patients with thyroid cancer. |
The test measures a protein known as thyroglobulin, which is made by thyroid-cancer cells. |
Immunostains for thyroglobulin were positive in both tumor elements, and calcitonin stain was negative. |
Glutathione peroxidase in thyroid tissue also controls thyroglobulin iodination. |
Thyroid antibodies were measured by an immunoradiographic procedure using thyroglobulin and purified thyroid peroxidase in 11 subjects. |
Chronic stimulation of the receptor causes an increase in the synthesis of a major thyroid hormone precursor, thyroglobulin. |
