Product name:Human TPO-Ab ELISA Kit
Description:
Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is a large (105 kDa) membrane-bound glycoprotein of thyroid gland. It is the major enzyme involved in multiple steps of thyroid hormone synthesis. TPO is one out of three major thyroid autoantigens (besides thyroglobulin (Tg) and the TSH-receptor). The presence of autoantibodies to TPO and Tg today is an established tool for diagnosing chronic autoimmune thyroiditis as well as for the differential diagnosis of hypothyroidism including its subclinical or latent type.
