Overview
Thyroperoxidase (TPO) is a 933-amino acid, type I transmembrane glycoprotein that plays a key role in thyroid gland function and autoimmunity. It is present as a dimer on the apical surface of thyroid follicular cells. TPO functions in the iodination of tyrosine residues in thyroglobulin and phenoxy-ester formation between pairs of iodinated tyrosines to generate the thyroid hormones, thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Mutations in this gene are associated with several disorders of thyroid hormonogenesis, including congenital hypothyroidism, congenital goiter, and thyroid hormone organification defect IIA.Malignant thyroid tumors exhibit an anomaly in TPO resulting in lower affinity for anti-TPO. This antibody may aid in the differentiation between benign and malignant thyroid tumors.
This anti-Thyroid Peroxidase antibody is supplied as Purified (Rabbit, Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal, clone TPO/3813R, Rabbit IgG, kappa, Unconjugated) and is designed to support common target-detection workflows after the on-page specifications.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: Thyroid Peroxidase
- Format: Purified

Because antibody performance can depend on epitope context, sample preparation, and biological state, interpret signals using appropriate controls and orthogonal evidence when possible.
Biological background
Thyroid Peroxidase is referenced in public gene/protein resources (e.g., UniProt and NCBI Gene), which provide curated names/synonyms, protein features, and pathway context. When designing assays, consider potential isoforms, post-translational modifications, and cell-type specific expression that may influence observed signal.
Research relevance and current trends
- Profiling Thyroid Peroxidase expression across model systems, perturbations, and time points to support mechanistic hypotheses.
- Combining antibody-based detection with multi-omics or imaging readouts to link Thyroid Peroxidase signal with phenotype.
- Using well-matched controls (isotype controls, genetic perturbations, or independent reagents) to strengthen interpretation of target-associated signal.
Common research applications
- IHC-P
Use the listed applications as a starting point and tailor experimental design to your sample type and readout requirements.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity considerations: closely related family members, isoforms, or PTMs can affect apparent specificity; confirm with independent approaches when critical.
- Controls: include negative controls and, when feasible, genetic or pharmacologic perturbations to support target attribution in your system.
- Species and sample context: differences in sequence, expression, fixation, or extraction conditions can change signal behavior across models.
Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
