TTR

Thyroid hormone-binding protein. Probably transports thyroxine from the bloodstream to the brain.

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.

Belongs to the transthyretin family.

Detected in plasma (at protein level). Detected in liver.
