T3 is a thyroid hormone known as triiodothyronine. Reverse T3 (rT3) is the inactive form of the hormone. It is converted from T4 through the enzyme called 3-5’-deiodinase enzyme. 3-5’-deiodinase enzymes then decompose into diiothyronine. Elevation of rT3 can come from the increased conversion of T4 to rT3 or inability for rT3 to convert to diiothyronine. This can lead to signs of hypothyroidism.
T3 is produced with T4 and calcitonin from the thyroid gland, located in the anterior region of the neck. About 80 percent of the thyroid gland makes T4, while the remaining 20 percent is T3. T4 is responsible for converting to T3 through the enzyme 3-5’-deiodinase enzyme, as mentioned above.
