Metabolite Identification
Common NameThyroxine
DescriptionThyroxinee, also known as thyroxineee or Thyroxinee, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylalanine and derivatives. Phenylalanine and derivatives are compounds containing phenylalanine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of phenylalanine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. Thyroxinee is a drug which is used for use alone or in combination with antithyroid agents to treat hypothyroidism, goiter, chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, myxedema coma, and stupor. Thyroxinee exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Thyroxinee exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In cattle, thyroxinee is involved in the metabolic pathway called thyroid hormone synthesis pathway.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in selenium binding
Specific function:
Responsible for the deiodination of T4 (3,5,3',5'-tetraiodothyronine) into T3 (3,5,3'-triiodothyronine). Essential for providing the brain with appropriate levels of T3 during the critical period of development.
Gene Name:
DIO2
Uniprot ID:
Q5I3B2
Molecular weight:
30303.0
General function:
Involved in selenium binding
Specific function:
Responsible for the deiodination of T4 (3,5,3',5'-tetraiodothyronine) into RT3 (3,3',5'-triiodothyronine) and of T3 (3,5,3'-triiodothyronine) into T2 (3,3'-diiodothyronine). RT3 and T2 are inactive metabolites. May play a role in preventing premature exposure of developing fetal tissues to adult levels of thyroid hormones. Can regulate circulating fetal thyroid hormone concentrations throughout gestation. Essential role for regulation of thyroid hormone inactivation during embryological development.
