TBG
Thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) is the high-affinity serum binding
protein for thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Normally, the thyroid
adjusts to changing concentrations of
TBG by producing more or less
thyroid hormone to maintain a constant level of metabolically important
free hormone.Elevated
TBG levels are associated with influences such as
pregnancy, genetic predisposition, oral contraceptives, and estrogen
therapy.
TBG is a test often ordered to evaluate patients with abnormal
T4 and T3 levels.
