Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a virtual screening method for human transthyretin disruptors, belonging to the field of screening methods for environmental endocrine disruptors. Background technique
[0002] Internationally, the potential environmental endocrine disrupting activity has been regarded as one of the important indicators for evaluating the health risks of organic chemicals. The interference of organic chemicals with the thyroid hormone (TH) system is one of the important mechanisms through which they interfere with the endocrine system. TH plays an important regulatory role in the growth, development, differentiation, thermogenesis and other processes of vertebrates. Under normal physiological conditions, TH needs to be transported to the target tissue by transthyretin (TTR, TBG, ALA) to produce the biological effect of TH transduction. However, some substances can affect TH homeostasis by competing with TH for the carrier protein binding site...
