Webto suggest that iodination of thyroglobulin may alter the epitope binding patterns and this results in multi-ple molecular con¢gurations occurring naturally that are compatible with adequate hormone synthesis 6 (i.e. iodination of thyroglobulin results in conformational change in the molecule and change in the antigenic epitopes). WebAs a glycoprotein, thyroglobulin contains 8–10% total carbohydrate with galactose, mannose, fucose, N-acetyl glucosamine and sialic acid residues. The carbohydrate in …

Synthesis of Thyroid Hormones - Bioscience Notes

WebThe iodination of tyrosine residues or iodide organification, is catalyzed by the thyroperoxidase (TPO). TPO is a membrane-bound hemoprotein located at the apical … WebNormally, vary- ing volumes of iodine were added to a -1% solution of thyro- globulin. When 55 and 110 moles of iodine were added (per mole of thyroglobulin) the iodine reacted rapidly and the solu- tions remained colorless. Rates of iodination are reported in the accompanying paper (8). inconsistency\u0027s 3q

Enhanced Iodination of Thyroglobulin Facilitates Processing and ...

WebThe first view implies that the site of iodination is the follicle lumen, the second that iodination is an intracellular process restricted to some organelle (s) in the follicle … WebIt is demonstrated that enhanced iodination of Tg facilitates the selective processing and presentation of a cryptic pathogenic peptide in vivo or in vitro and suggest a mechanism that can at least in part account for the association of high iodine intake and the development of EAT. Increased iodine intake has been associated with the development of experimental … WebThe iodination of thyroglobulin was performed as described in Materials and Methods with 1.67 1M thyroglobulin, 1 U/ml thyroid peroxidase, 150 pM labeled iodide.
