Flashcards: Iodinated tyrosine derivatives

Triiodothyronine, also known as T3, is a thyroid hormone.

Reverse triiodothyronine (3,3’,5’-triiodothyronine, reverse T3, or rT3) is an isomer of triiodothyronine (3,5,3’ triiodothyronine, T3).

Diiodothyronine may refer to: * 3,3'-Diiodothyronine (3,3'-T2) * 3,5-Diiodothyronine (3,5-T2)

3-Iodotyrosine is a reversible inhibitor of the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase.

3'-Monoiodothyronine is a monoiodinated thyronine.

3,3',5-Triiodothyronamine is a thyronamine.

3,5-Diiodothyronine (3,5-T2) is an active thyroid hormone within the class of iodothyronines.

3-Iodothyronamine (T1AM) is an endogenous thyronamine.

3,3'-Diiodothyronine, also known as 3,3'-T2, is a metabolite of thyroid hormone.

Diiodotyrosine (DIT) is a precursor in the production of thyroid hormone, and results from iodization of monoiodotyrosine at the other meta- position on the phenol ring.

Monoiodotyrosine is a precursor of thyroid hormone and results from iodization of tyrosine at the meta- position of the phenol ring.

Liothyronine is a synthetic form of thyroid hormone (T3) used to treat hypothyroidism and myxedema coma.

Dextrothyroxine (trade name Choloxin) saw research as a cholesterol-lowering drug but was pulled due to cardiac side-effects.
