What is Thyroid Hormone Synthesis Overview about?
Thyroid hormones, T3 and T4, are synthesized from tyrosine residues on thyroglobulin in the thyroid follicle and regulated by thyroid-stimulating hormone and plasma iodide levels. T4 has a large pool and low turnover rate, while T3 is smaller with a fast turnover rate and is converted from T4 in target cells to regulate gene transcription. Abnormalities in thyroid function include hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and simple non-toxic goitre due to iodine deficiency.
