9Describe the process of thyroid hormone production:
1. Iodine is actively transported into the [blank_start]follicular thyroid cells[blank_end] via [blank_start]sodium iodide transporters[blank_end] on the basolateral side of the cell (this is called [blank_start]iodide trapping[blank_end])
2. Iodine diffuses to the luminal side of the cell
3. Iodine is transported into the follicle lumen by [blank_start]pendrin[blank_end], a membrane transporter
4. The follicle cells secrete [blank_start]thyroglobulin[blank_end] (containing ~70 [blank_start]tyrosine[blank_end] amino acids) into the lumen
5. Iodide ions undergo [blank_start]oxidation[blank_end] to form [blank_start]iodine[blank_end] via the action of the enzyme [blank_start]hydrogen peroxidase[blank_end]
6. [blank_start]Organification[blank_end] of the thyroglobulin molecule:
---Iodine binds to tyrosine amino acids within the thyroglobulin molecule via the action of [blank_start]thyroid peroxidase[blank_end]
---This forms [blank_start]monoiodotyrosine[blank_end]
---This undergoes further iodine binding to form [blank_start]diiodotyrosine[blank_end]
---MIT/DIT molecules are coupled to each other
7. If two DIT molecules couple together, [blank_start]T4 (thyroxine)[blank_end] is formed
8. If one MIT molecule couples with one DIT molecule, [blank_start]T3 (triiodothyronine)[blank_end] is formed- Afollicular thyroid cells
