Among them, T4 and T3 are involved in the growth, development and regulation of the metabolism of vertebrates. | ||
The thyroid gland is made up of thyroid vesicles, which are made up of thyroid follicular cells that are arranged around a lumen containing a viscous substance called colloid. The diet is a source of iodide I- ions which, once in the blood, are picked up by the thyroid cells and then partly discharged into the colloid. | The thyroid gland is made up of thyroid vesicles, which are made up of thyroid follicular cells that are arranged around a lumen containing a viscous substance called colloid.

In addition, TG has about 120 cysteine residues allowing the formation of about 60 disulfide bridge bonds per monomer [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nuryu1aSqvY&list=PLMGnv0h7EIJydYifu7JSxrkXMzpwlkyDF&index=11>Disulfide bridge]]. It is therefore a very stable and soluble protein. | In addition, TG has about 120 <scene name='86/868183/Cysteine/1'>cysteine residues</scene> allowing the formation of about 60 disulfide bridge bonds per monomer [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nuryu1aSqvY&list=PLMGnv0h7EIJydYifu7JSxrkXMzpwlkyDF&index=11>Disulfide bridge]].
