Thyroid hormone is actually synthesized from the amino acid tyrosine. It is produced in the thyroid gland by the addition of iodine to tyrosine molecules, and then combined to form the hormones T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). These hormones are released into the bloodstream and can act on target cells throughout the body.
