Transport

A. Uptake of iodides from the blood into the thyroid gland through a symporter

B. MIT and DIT are cleaved from thyroglobulin, releasing bound T4 and T3 into blood

C. Iodide is converted to iodine by thyroid peroxidase and rapidly iodinated tyrosine residues in thyroglobulin to produce monoiodotyrosine (MIT) or diiodotyrosine (DIT)

D. Two molecules of DIT combine within the thyroglobulin molecule to form l-thyroxine (T4) and one molecule of MIT and one molecule of DIT combine to form T3

Organification

A. Uptake of iodides from the blood into the thyroid gland through a symporter

B. MIT and DIT are cleaved from thyroglobulin, releasing bound T4 and T3 into blood

C. Iodide is converted to iodine by thyroid peroxidase and rapidly iodinated tyrosine residues in thyroglobulin to produce monoiodotyrosine (MIT) or diiodotyrosine (DIT)

D. Two molecules of DIT combine within the thyroglobulin molecule to form l-thyroxine (T4) and one molecule of MIT and one molecule of DIT combine to form T3

Coupling
