Thyroxine (T4), the principal thyroid hormone, circulates in blood almost completely bound to carrier proteins. However, only the free (unbound) fraction of thyroxine is considered to be biologically active. The main carriers of thyroxine are thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG), pre-albumin and albumin. The measurement of free thyroxine (fT4) levels correlate better with the clinical status than total thyroxine levels.
