The human thyroglobulin (hTg) is a high molecular weight glycoprotein (605 kDa) found in the thyroid follicular cells. It plays a central role in the uptake, incorporation, and regulated biosynthesis of thyroid hormones, T4 and T3. Thyroid disorders are, in large part, due to autoimmune origin, and anti-thyroglobulin autoantibodies were the first factor to be discovered. Anti-hTG is found in all thyroid autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto thyroiditis, Graves diseases), with the highest level observed in Hashimoto thyroiditis. Anti-hTG is also characteristic of thyroid cancer, and its determination can be used for the follow up of cancer patients.
