Storage method

Should be sealed with argon and stored in a cool, dry place away from light

Synthesis method

Can be extracted from animal thyroid glands. It can be prepared from 3,5-diiodo-L-tyrosine.

The formation of thyroxine goes through six processes: synthesis, storage, iodination, reabsorption, decomposition and release: 1. Follicular epithelial cells absorb amino acids from the blood and synthesize thyroid spheres in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The precursor of the protein is then added with sugar in the Golgi complex and concentrated to form secretory granules, which are then discharged into the follicular cavity for storage by exocytosis. 2. Follicular epithelial cells can absorb I- from the blood, and I- is activated through the action of peroxidase. 3. The activated I- enters the follicular cavity and combines with thyroglobulin to form iodinated thyroglobulin. 4. Under the action of thyroid-stimulating hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis, follicular epithelial cells endocytose iodinated thyroglobulin in the follicular cavity and become glial vesicles. 5. Glial vesicles fuse with lysosomes, and iodinated thyroglobulin is decomposed by hydrolase to form a large amount of tetraiodothyronine (T4) and a small amount of triiodothyronine (T3), which is thyroxine. 6. T3 and T4 are released into the blood at the base of cells.
