'''Transthyretin''' (TTR) is a serum carrier of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) and retinol through its association with retinol-binding protein (RBP). Many small molecules bind to TTR T4-binding site<ref>PMID:12553418</ref>. For details see [[Student Project 2 for UMass Chemistry 423 Spring 2015]]. | '''Transthyretin''' (TTR) is a serum carrier of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) and retinol through its association with retinol-binding protein (RBP).
