L-Thyroxine
L-Thyroxine (NSC 36397), the primary thyroid hormone, is biosynthesized from iodinated tyrosine residues within thyroglobulin. It is a prohormone that is secreted and peripherally deiodinated to the active triiodothyronine (T3), making it essential for research into thyroid function, metabolic regulation, and endocrine signaling in both in vitro and in vivo models.
