Thyroxine-5'-deiodinase has been identified in the rat pineal gland. The characteristics of the enzyme are compatible with a Type-II deiodinase which is tissue-specific and presumably related to generating a local action of thyroid hormone. Our data suggest there may be a previously unrecognized role of thyroid hormone in the regulation of pineal activity.
甲状腺素5'-脱碘酶已在大鼠松果体中被鉴定出来。该酶的特性与II型脱碘酶相符,后者具有组织特异性,可能与甲状腺激素产生局部作用有关。我们的数据表明,甲状腺激素在松果体活动调节中可能存在以前未被认识到的作用。
