Function

Thyroid hormone-binding protein. Probably transports thyroxine from the bloodstream to the brain (By similarity).

Post-translational modifications

Sulfonation of the reactive cysteine Cys-30 enhances the stability of the native conformation of TTR, avoiding misassembly of the protein leading to amyloid formation.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the transthyretin family.
