General description

Human Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a 660 kDa, dimeric protein produced by and used entirely within the thyroid gland. Human Thyroglobin is used by the thyroid gland to produce the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyryonine. Patients with Hashimoto′s thyroiditis or Grave′s disease, frequently develop antibodies against human Thyroglobulin.

Patients with Hashimoto′s thyroiditis or Graves′ disease, frequently develop antibodies against human Thyroglobulin. Thryoglobulin levels in the blood can be used as a tumor marker for certain kinds of thyroid cancer and in Graves′ disease.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Thyroglobulin has been shown to induce expression of platelet activating factor in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells which is found elevated in some patients with thyroid disease.

Evanescent illumination has been widely used to detect single biological macromolecules because it can notably enhance light-analyte interaction. However, the current evanescent single-molecule detection system usually requires specially designed microspheres or nanomaterials. Here we show that single protein detection and
