The major hormone derived from the thyroid gland. Thyroxine is synthesized via the iodination of tyrosines (MONOIODOTYROSINE) and the coupling of iodotyrosines (DIIODOTYROSINE) in the THYROGLOBULIN. Thyroxine is released from thyroglobulin by proteolysis and secreted into the blood. Thyroxine is peripherally deiodinated to form TRIIODOTHYRONINE which exerts a broad spectrum of stimulatory effects on cell metabolism.
Thyroxine has been studied across 19 research domains including 🧬 Hormones, 🧠 Focus & Attention, 🫁 Liver & Detox, 😴 Sleep, 🫘 Kidney. The primary research focus is 🧬 Hormones with 54% of studies addressing this area.
The following compounds share molecular targets with Thyroxine, based on binding affinity data from BindingDB and ChEMBL. Sorted by shared target overlap.
