| Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 21819 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in thyroid hormone generation. Acts upstream of or within iodide transport; regulation of myelination; and thyroid hormone metabolic process. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in thyroid gland; thyroid gland follicle; thyroid gland left lobe colloid-filled follicles; thyroid gland lobe; and thyroid gland right lobe colloid-filled follicles. Used to study congenital hypothyroidism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Graves' disease; autoimmune thyroiditis; goiter; and thyroid dyshormonogenesis 3. Orthologous to human TG (thyroglobulin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a spontaneous mutation exhibit enlarged and abnormal thyroid gland, hypothyroidism, and decreased body weight with altered lymphotcyte numbers.
