Abstract
Originating in the thyroid, the prohormone thyroxine is converted to triiodothyronine, which is essential in brain development, growth, and metabolism. A study in this issue reveals a novel mechanism for controlling triiodothyronine production that provides the first example of enzyme activity being restored by deubiquitination.Entities:
