Thyroid peroxidase is not involved in
Oxidizes iodide to atomic iodine
Frequent epitope of autoantibodiesent epitope
Secretion of thyroglobulin into the colloid
Liberates iodine for addition on to thyrosine resideues on thyroglobulin
Inorganic iodine enters the body primarily as iodide, I-. After entering the thyroid follicle (or thyroid follicular cell) a Na+/I-sympoer (NIS) on the basolateral side, iodide is shuttled across the apical membrane into the colloid pendrin, after which thyroid peroxidase oxidizes iodide to atomic iodine (I) or iodinium (I+).The "organification of iodine," the incorporation of iodine into thyroglobulin for the production of thyroid hormone, is nonspecific; that is, there is no TPO-bound intermediate, but iodination occurs reactive iodine species released from TPO.The chemical reactions catalyzed by thyroid peroxidase occur on the outer apical membrane surface and are mediated by hydrogen peroxide.Ref: DM Vasudevan, 7th edition, page no: 673
