Summary

Name Colloid
Primary ID SIGNOR-PH185
Type phenotype
Description The thyroid gland is unique among endocrine glands in storing its principle hormonal product—the two very small thyroid hormones (TH)—as components of a 1000-fold larger precursor—thyroglobulin (Tg)—that is secreted and stored in the colloid, outside of the thyroid cell. Moreover, the thyroid cell is part of a layer of similar cells—the thyroid follicular epithelium—that completely encloses the secreted Tg and segregates it from the circulation. PMID:24251883
