Metabolite Identification
Common NameIodotyrosine
DescriptionIodotyrosine is a halogenated amino acid classified as a phenolic compound. Its chemical structure features a tyrosine backbone with one or two iodine atoms substituted at the ortho or para positions of the aromatic ring, which significantly influences its reactivity and biological functions. Iodotyrosine is involved in several biochemical pathways, particularly in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. The coupling of iodotyrosine derivatives is a critical step in the formation of thyroxine, where the iodotyrosine deprotonation is facilitated by nearby carboxylic groups, such as glutamate (PMID:39608720 ). Additionally, iodotyrosine deiodinases (IYDs) play a role in the metabolism of iodotyrosine, although they are subject to substrate inhibition, particularly in homologues like Thermotoga neapolitana (PMID:40498979 ). The presence of iodotyrosine is also noted in metabolic profiles following the application of iodoquinolines (PMID:39824073 ). Furthermore, alterations in iodotyrosine levels can affect the structural integrity of thyroglobulin, influencing the presence of thyroiditogenic epitopes (PMID:39633222 ). Overall, iodotyrosine serves as a key intermediate in thyroid hormone biosynthesis and metabolism.
