Transthyretin is one of the three major thyroid hormone‐binding proteins in plasma and/or
cerebrospinal fluid of vertebrates. It transports retinol via binding to retinol‐binding protein …

Thyroid hormones (THs) are evolutionarily old hormones, having effects on metabolism in
bacteria, invertebrates and vertebrates. THs bind specific distributor proteins (THDPs) to …

Amyloid fibril formation is associated with protein misfolding disorders, including
neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases …

In plasma, thyroid hormone (TH) is bound to several TH distributor proteins (THDPs),
constituting a TH delivery/distribution network. Extensive studies of THDPs from tetrapods …

Thyroid-disrupting chemicals (TDCs) are xenobiotics that can interfere with the endocrine
system and cause adverse effects in organisms and their offspring. TDCs affect both the …

Literature review is devoted to analysis of role of thyroid hormones in fishes. Structural
features of secretory epithelium and neuro-endocrine control of thyroid status in fishes are …

Human transthyretin (hTTR) is one of several proteins known to cause amyloid disease.
Conformational changes in its native structure result in aggregation of the protein, leading to …

The molecular basis of viviparity in non-mammalian species has not been widely studied.
Neoditrema ransonnetii, a surfperch, is a matrotrophic teleost whose fetuses grow by …

Studies on the role of thyroid hormones (THs) in teleost fish physiology have deployed the
synthetic goitrogens, methimazol (MMI), propilthiouracil (PTU) and thiourea (TU) that are …

Transthyretin (TTR) is a plasma thyroid hormone (TH) binder that emerged from an ancient
hydroxyisourate hydrolase by gene duplication. To know how an ancient TTR had high …
