From the reviews: "Transthyretin (TTR) is a relatively abundant thyroid hormone carrier protein found in the blood of vertebrates. ... The authors of the book Recent Advances in Transthyretin Evolution, Structure and Biological Functions have produced a comprehensive reference text that does much to reconcile the evolutionary biology, structure-function relationships and pathophysiology of this remarkable protein. ... In summary, this ... text will prove to be essential reading for both expert and non-expert researchers in the field of TTR biology." (Rob Gasperini, Australian Biochemist, Vol. 41 (1), April, 2010)
