Abstract
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.Entities:
