products description :
MyBioSource is the leading manufacturer of Standard Grade Human Plasma Prealbumin/Transthyretin. Custom preparations, technical support, bulk quantities and aliquoting available. Transthyretin (TTR) is a serum and cerebrospinal fluid carrier of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) and retinol. This is how transthyretin gained its name, transports thyroxine and retinol. Transthyretin was originally called prealbumin because it ran faster than albumins on electrophoresis gels prealbumin.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a member of the lipocalin family of small secretory proteins. Lipocalins are extracellular transport proteins that bind to a variety of hydrophobic ligands. The encoded protein is the primary lipid binding protein in tears and is overproduced in response to multiple stimuli including infection and stress. The encoded protein may be a marker for chromosome aneuploidy as well as an autoantigen in Sjogren's syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene, and two pseudogenes of this gene are also located on the long arm of chromosome 9.
