Triiodothyronine (T3) (BSA), Highly Purified

Triiodothyronine also known as T3, is a thyroid hormone. It affects almost every physiological process in the body, including growth and development, metabolism, body temperature, and heart rate. Together with thyroxine (T4), T3 exerts a potent influence on the basal metabolic rate. T3 is synthesized from the tyrosine residues of thyroglobin and is found in the serum of normal individuals. Although T3 has a lower serum concentration than T4, it is 5 to 10 times more active. Precursor: 3,3'-5-Triiodothyronine, Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested.
