Background: Serpin A7/TBG

Thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG), also known as Serpin A7, is an approximately 44 kDa member of the serpin superfamily of serine protease inhibitors. TBG belongs to the clade A subgroup of serpins which include inflammatory response molecules (1). Human TBG shares 76% sequence identity to mouse TBG. TBG is one of two serpins known to bind and transport hormones. TBG is responsible for binding the majority of thyroxine (T4) in the blood and releasing it through conformational changes in the reactive loop (2). In addition, cleavage of TBG's reactive site loop by proteases present at inflammatory sites causes a targeted and immediate release of thyroxine from TBG (3). TBG levels are modified by estrogen levels (4-6) and may directly predict perinatal syndromal depression in late pregnancy (6). In addition, elevated TBG levels were a reported marker for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (7) in support of reported endocrine system dysfunction in patients with the disease (8, 9).
