3-Iodo-L-tyrosine (CAS 70-78-0)
QUICK LINKS
3-Iodo-L-tyrosine functions as a substrate in enzymatic reactions, particularly in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. It serves as a precursor for the production of thyroxine and triiodothyronine. 3-Iodo-L-tyrosine is a competitive inhibitor of thyroid peroxidase, an enzyme involved in the iodination of tyrosine residues in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. By inhibiting this enzyme, 3-Iodo-L-tyrosine disrupts the production of thyroid hormones, thereby influencing the regulation of metabolic processes. At the molecular level, 3-Iodo-L-tyrosine competes with tyrosine for binding sites on thyroid peroxidase, ultimately interfering with the incorporation of iodine into tyrosine residues and the subsequent formation of thyroid hormones. 3-Iodo-L-Tyrosine′s mechanism of action provides insights into the regulation of thyroid hormone synthesis and its potential impact on metabolic pathways, making it useful for investigating thyroid function and related disorders within experimental applications.
