Product Information

• Name: N-Acetyl L-thyroxine
• Synonyms: N-Acetyl-O-(4-hydroxy-3,5-diiodophenyl)-3,5-diiodo-L-tyrosineN-Acetyl-L-thyroxineN-Acetylthyroxine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: N-Acetyl L-thyroxine is a molecule that has two acetyl groups, one at the amino and one on the phenol. It is synthesized by the addition of an acetyl group to thyronine. N-Acetyl L-thyroxine can be found in human serum and hydroxycobalamin. N-Acetyl L-thyroxine binds with proteins to form a labile complex. This binding can be increased with a hydroxyl group, diphenyl ether, or chlorine. N-Acetyl L-thyroxine is also involved in hormone synthesis and metabolism, as well as being converted into l-glutamic acid and then into acid analysis. Halogens are known to cause the cleavage of N-acetyl L-thyroxine at the C5 position, which leads to its degradation by oxidation.
