3 3' 5-Triiodo-L-thyronine sodium salt&

3,3'',5-Triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) is a thyroid hormone. It is produced by 5''-monodeiodination of the prohormone thyroxine (T4) in various tissues, including liver and kidney. T3 is an agonist of thyroid hormone receptors TRα and TRβ (K_is = 2.3 nM for both) that modulates diverse biological properties, including metabolism, cardiac function, growth, and redox signaling. It also functions as an inhibitor of L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), inhibiting LAT1-mediated leucine uptake in HEK293 cells when used at a concentration of 10 μM.

Liothyronine sodium hydrate is an active form of thyroid hormone. Liothyronine sodium hydrate is a potent thyroid hormone receptors TRα and TRβ agonist with Kis of 2.33 nM for hTRα and hTRβ, respectively[1][2][3].
