  • Title: Type-II thyroxine 5'-deiodinase is present in the rat pineal gland.
    Author: Tanaka K, Murakami M, Greer MA.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1986 Jun 13; 137(2):863-8. PubMed ID: 3729943.
    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.
