Cloning of recombinant thyroglobulin

Abstract

The aim of the study is to clone cDNA fragments of mRNA of the thyroglobulin gene into а vector and introduce it into prokaryotic cell lines for possible use in the diagnosis of autoimmune and oncological diseases of the human thyroid gland. Thyroid hormones are synthesized by thyrocytes of mammalian thyroid tissue from the large protein thyroglobulin having a molecular weight of 330 kDa. The thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine are small molecules that have large biological effects. They regulate metabolism in almost all cells, and are important for the development of the central nervous system, musculoskeletal system and lungs. These are also the only hormones that contain iodine and are synthesized partly inside and partly outside of cells. A dimeric glycoprotein is called thyroglobulin.
