Summary
? Thyroid is the largest endocrine
gland ? Located in anterior part of neck
Parathyroid glands posterior, recurrent laryngeal

Proposed coupling scheme for intramolecular
formation of T4 within the thyroglobulin
molecule. The major hormone site at tyrosyl
residue 5 is indicated. The assistance of Dr.
H.J. Cahnmann in the early development of this
scheme is gratefully acknowledged.

Three Proteins that are Important (and specific)
for Thyroid Hormone Biosynthesis 1. The Iodide
Transporter a) A 618 aa protein with 12
predicted transmembrane domains b) Cotransports
Na and I-from the basal surface of thyroid
cellsdriven by Na/K ATPase c) Concentrates
Iodide 20- to 40-fold 2. Thyroglobulin a) A
660 kd homodimeric glycoprotein that constitutes
50 of thyroid protein b) Tyrosine residues in
Tg are iodinated to form thyroid hormone. Of 134
tyrosines, specific ones are
iodinated to give rise to thyroid hormone. 3 to
4 molecules of T4 are formed per Tg
molecule c) Is the major component of colloid
which is stored in the center of thyroid
follicles d) When all thyroid is removed,
measurement of serum Tg becomes a tumor marker
for thyroid cancer 3. Thyroid Peroxidase
a) Catalyzes organification of iodide (oxidation
and incorporation into tyrosine ring) and
coupling of iodinated tyrosine residues in
thyroglobulin b) Is the target for antithyroid
drugs which are competitive inhibitors of TPO c)
Measurement of antibodies against TPO is useful
in making the diagnosis of
autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimotos disease)

Summary
  • Thyroid gland contains Thyroid follicles and C
    cells (Calcitonin)
  • T4 and T3 is formed on the thyroglobulin (Tg)
    protein
  • The amino acid tyrosine is mono and diiodinated
    and coupled to form T4 and T3 by thyroid
    peroxidase
  • T4 and T3 is released from thyroglobulin by
    proteolytic cleavage
  • The major proteins involved in T4/T3 formation
    are
  • Na Iodine Symporter (NIS)
  • for iodine transport
  • Thyroglobulin with tyrosines
  • for iodination and coupling
  • Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO)
  • executing iodination and coupling of tyrosine

22
Regulation of Thyroid Hormone Formation
  • Hypothalamic Pituitary Thyroid Axis

Iodine Uptake into Thyroid Cell
  • Mediated at basolateral side of cell by Na I
    symporter (NIS)
  • Leads to 201 concentration gradient cell to
    plasma
  • NIS has 13 membrane opening loops
  • also expressed in salivary gland, mammary
    gland, gastric mucosa, choroid plexus
  • NIS gene upregulated by TSH (CREB element)
  • Only thyroid gland can form thyroid hormone
  • no organification in other organs

AutoregulationWolff Chaikoff effect
  • High doses of I and I levels in thyroid cell
    inhibits organic binding of I,iodolipid
  • Inhibition of thyroid hormone production
  • TPO ?
  • H2O2 generation ?
  • Adenylate Cyclase
    inhibited
  • Release of T4/T4 from Tg highly iodinated ?
  • Escape from effect after 2 days

  • 50 mcg/day uptake
  • 10 mcg/day recycled iodine
  • Total use 60 mcg/day
  • Thyroid gland produces T4 80-100 mcg/day
  • T3 daily production rate 30-40 mcg/day
  • 6-8 mcg/day produced by thyroid gland (20)
  • 80 of T3 derived from peripheral conversion

34
Summary
  • TSH major stimulator of T4/T3 formation
  • Adequate Iodine supply needed for T4/T3 formation
  • Autoregulation of thyroid cell by iodine levels

35
Transport and Metabolism of Thyroid Hormone
36
TransportT4/T3 in Serum
  • T4 99.97 protein bound
  • 0.03 free
  • T3 99.7 protein bound
  • 0.3 free
  • Protein binding of T4 and T3 provides stability
    for system
  • T3 is 5-10 times more biological active than T4
  • 10 fold higher amount is free hormone

37
T4/T3 Binding Proteins
  • Thyroxine Binding Globulin (TBG) (70 T4 /T3)
  • High affinity binding of T4 (1010 mol/L)
  • Lower affinity binding of T3 (109 mol/L)
  • Transthyretin (Prealbumin) (15 T4/T3)
  • Binding affinity for T4 and T3 about equal
    (10 mol/L)
  • Albumin (8 T4/T3)
  • low affinity for T4 and T3 (106 mol/L)
  • large capacity

Changes in T4/T3 protein binding
  • Change in amount of binding protein
  • T4/T3 displacement by other agents

41
Summary
  • T4/T3 in serum is over 99 protein bound, storage
    and buffering function
  • Thyroxine binding globulin, transthyretin, and
    albumin are major binding proteins
  • Changes in binding protein amount and drugs
    competing for T4/T3 binding can alter serum
    levels of T4/T3
  • Alterations in binding proteins with intact
    pituitary thyroid axis does not lead to long term
    changes in free T4/T3

    metabolism
  • Three Deiodinases exist (D1, D2, D3)
  • All have selenocysteine in active center

Conclusion
  • HPT axis is established at 12-16 weeks of
    gestation
  • During early brain development (up to 12 weeks
    gest.)
  • placental transfer of T4/T3 from mother may be
    important
  • Neonatal screening for hypothyroidism identifies
    about 14500 children as hypothyroid

Conclusion
  • T3 mediates its action by binding to Thyroid
    Hormone receptors (TR)
  • Two genes TRa and TRß code for thyroid hormone
    receptor
  • TRs are ligand activated transcription factors
    acting in the nucleus
  • T3 may also activate some MAPKinase at the cell
    membrane
  • T3 enters cells by specific ATP-consuming
    carried-mediated transporters

Conclusion
  • Hypo, Hyperthyroidism, Thyroid Nodules, Thyroid
