AbstractThyroid hormones are produced by the thyroid gland and are essential for regulating metabolism, growth and development. Maintenance of circulating thyroid hormone levels within an appropriate range is thus a prerequisite for health. In vivo, this objective is, at least in part, facilitated through an extracellular storage depot of thyroglobulin, the glycoprotein precursor for thyroid hormones, in the thyroid follicular lumen.
