PubChem CID: 5920
3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine is an iodothyronine compound having iodo substituents at the 3-, 3'- and 5-positions. Although some is produced in the thyroid, most of the 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine in the body is generated by mono-deiodination of L-thyroxine in the peripheral tissues. Its metabolic activity is about 3 to 5 times that of L-thyroxine. The sodium salt is used in the treatment of hypothyroidism. It has a role as a thyroid hormone, a mouse metabolite and a human metabolite. It is an iodophenol, an iodothyronine and a 2-halophenol. It is a conjugate acid of a 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyroninate.
