| Immunogen: | Recombinant Human Transthyretin/TTR Protein is produced by HEK293 expression system. The target protein is expressed with sequence (Gly 21-Glu 147 ) of human Transthyretin (Accession #NP_000362.1) fused with a 6×His tag at the C-terminus. |

| Tissue Specificity | Detected in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (at protein level). Highly expressed in choroid plexus epithelial cells. Detected in retina pigment epithelium and liver. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Not glycosylated under normal conditions. Following unfolding, caused for example by variant AMYLD1 'Gly-38', the cryptic Asn-118 site is exposed and glycosylated by STT3B-containing OST complex, leading to its degradation by the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway. Sulfonation of the reactive cysteine Cys-30 enhances the stability of the native conformation of TTR, avoiding misassembly of the protein leading to amyloid formation. |
| Function | Thyroid hormone-binding protein. Probably transports thyroxine from the bloodstream to the brain. |
