chapter 7 - 3 Flashcards
thyroid gland composed of
follicular cell in thyroid follicles
colloid serves as
extracellular storage site of thyroid hormone
storage sites form as
thyroglobin
thyroglobulin is a
large glycoprotein
- synthesized by follicular cells
thyroglobulin
- secreted into colloid by exocytosis
thyroglobulin
- thyroid follicular cells capture
iodine
- iodide is
oxidized to active form by TPO
moves into lumen of follicle
into colloid
- iodine is — and -attached to — molecules
activated and attached to tyrosine on Tg
Tyrosine molecules on Tg

two iodine
- iodinated tyrosines couple to form—
T4 and T3
- follicular cells take up
Tg by phagocytosis
- lysosomal enzymes split
t4 t3 MIT and dit
- t3 and 4 —–
diffuse across follicular cells membrane into blood
MIT and dit recycled
what is mti and dit recycled to
iodine and tyrosine
t3 is major
biologically active form of thyroid hormone
most secreted r4 si
activated by deiodinase enzyme
t3 binds with
nuclear rec to thyroid respsonse element of DNA
t3 binding alters
transcription of mRNA and synthesis spec prt
mechanism of thyroid hormone action
- sec t4 Is activated by conversion of t3 by deiodinase
- 3 binds to nuclear rec at thyroid-release element of dna
- transcription altered, mRNA activated, prt cerated
