High resolution crystal structures of piscine transthyretin reveal different bi...

Transthyretin (TTR) is an extracellular transport protein involved in the distribution of thyroid hormones and vitamin A. So far, TTR has only been found in vertebrates, of which piscine TTR displays the lowest sequence identity with human TTR (47%). Human and piscine TTR bind both thyroid hormones 3,5,3 -triiodo- L-thyronine (T3) and 3,5,3 ,5 -tetraiodo-L-thyronine (thyroxine, T4). Human TTR has higher affinit...
