| - | '''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>. | + | '''Transthyretin''' (TTR) is a serum carrier of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) and retinol through its association with retinol-binding protein (RBP).
