Thyroxamine (Cat.No:I037282) is a synthetic derivative of thyroxine (T4), a thyroid hormone. It has a similar structure to T4 but lacks the iodine atoms. Thyroxamine is used in research to study thyroid hormone receptors and their binding affinity to evaluate its potential as a modulator of thyroid hormone signaling pathways.
