Thyroglobulin and Iodine Binding

Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a large, iodinated glycoprotein produced by the follicular cells of the thyroid gland.
Role in Thyroid Hormone Synthesis: It acts as the structural protein backbone and the primary substrate for the synthesis of thyroid hormones (thyroxine or T4, and triiodothyronine or T3).
Iodine Binding Mechanism:
Dietary iodide is transported into the thyroid follicular cells, oxidized into iodine, and transferred to the follicular lumen (colloid).
Enzymes called thyroid peroxidases attach these iodine residues to specific tyrosine amino acid residues located within the thyroglobulin protein chain.
This process is known as iodination or organification of iodine.
Hormone Storage and Release:
The iodinated tyrosines within the thyroglobulin molecule couple together to form precursors of T4 and T3.
The entire thyroglobulin protein is stored within the extracellular colloid matrix until the thyroid gland receives stimulation to reabsorb it.
Once reabsorbed, proteolytic enzymes break down the thyroglobulin backbone, releasing active T4 and T3 hormones into the bloodstream.
