Reaction: DIT and MIT combine to form triiodothyronine
- in pathway: Thyroxine biosynthesis
Mono- and di-iodinated tyrosine can combine to form tri-iodothyronine (T3). The hormone thyrotropin can stimulate the production of T3 and T4.
Reaction - small molecule participants:
T3 [extracellular region]
L-Ala [extracellular region]
DIT [extracellular region]
MIT [extracellular region]
