thyA
ThyA is a protein that plays a crucial role in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. It is a member of the thyroglobulin superfamily, which includes other proteins involved in thyroid hormone synthesis and transport. ThyA is primarily expressed in the thyroid gland, where it is involved in the synthesis and storage of thyroid hormones. These hormones are essential for the regulation of metabolism, growth, and development in various tissues throughout the body.
The thyA gene is located on chromosome 14q32.1 in humans. It encodes a protein that consists of
ThyA is a homodimer, meaning it consists of two identical subunits. Each subunit contains a single thyroglobulin-like
Mutations in the thyA gene have been associated with thyroid dysfunction and other related disorders. For example,
In summary, thyA is a protein that plays a vital role in thyroid hormone synthesis and storage.
