'''Thyroid-binding globulin''' is a globular [[plasma protein]] whose function is to bind and transport [[thyroxine]] and [[triiodothyronine]]. | <section begin="clinical biochemistry" />'''Thyroid-binding globulin''' (TBG) is a globular [[plasma protein]] whose function is to bind and transport [[thyroxine]] and [[triiodothyronine]]. Congenital TBG deficiency is asymptomatic, making TGB's physiological importance uncertain. | ||
The level of TBG can be measured if congenital TBG deficiency is suspected, as this will interfere with regular thyroid hormone measurement.<section end="clinical biochemistry" /> | |||
