thyroxine-binding globulin noun : a blood serum glycoprotein that is synthesized in the liver and that binds tightly to thyroxine and less firmly to triiodothyronine preventing their removal from the blood by the kidneys and releasing them as needed at sites of activity —abbreviation TBG See the...
The method has a possible role as a replacement for the numerous indirect resin uptake methods, whose terminology and meaning clinicians find confusing. It is proposed that if thyroid function tests were reported as serum thyroxine, serum thyroxine binding globulin and % saturation, it would be ...

Related to thyroxine-binding prealbumin: transthyretin amyloidosisthy·rox·ine-·bind·ing pre·al·bu·min (TBPA), a protein located in the "prealbumin" zone upon electrophoretic analysis of plasma proteins; its affinity for binding thyroxine is less than that of thyroxine-binding globulin but ...
A plea has been made to rename LATS as thyroid-stimulating globulin, but this has not found general favor (Adams, 1965). B Methods for Assay of LATS Ever since McKenzie transferred the principles of Adams and Purves' guinea pig assay to mice, the McKenzie (1958a) bioassay method has ...
