What Anti-Thyroglobulin Antibody measures

Anti-thyroglobulin antibodies target thyroglobulin, a protein the thyroid uses to make its hormones. Their level reflects immune activity directed at the thyroid gland.

Why it is tested

This antibody is measured alongside anti-TPO when an autoimmune cause of thyroid dysfunction is being explored. It appears in the more comprehensive thyroid-containing panels.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as an anti-TPO test?

They are different antibodies but are often measured together, as each targets a different part of the thyroid. Reporting both gives a broader view of thyroid autoimmunity.
