Biological function summary
The thyroxine-binding globulin helps maintain adequate levels of thyroid hormones in circulation ensuring a ready reserve supply to target tissues. TBG acts as a carrier protein and does not form part of a larger complex. It provides stability to the hormones and prevents their premature clearance from the bloodstream. Without it the availability and functionality of thyroid hormones within the body would be compromised affecting metabolic and growth functions.
Pathways
Thyroxine-binding globulin is critical in the thyroid hormone signaling pathway. This pathway regulates metabolism growth and development through the action of thyroid hormones. TBG is closely related to other hormone-binding proteins such as transthyretin and albumin which also participate in thyroid hormone transport albeit with different affinities. Its presence ensures that these hormones remain available for cellular uptake and action within various tissues influencing energy expenditure and developmental processes.
