Thyroid Cells (N/A)

Target: N/A
Molecular classification: Cells, Epithelial Cells, Endocrine Cells

Overview

Thyroid cells are the functional cellular components of the thyroid gland, an endocrine organ responsible for producing hormones that regulate metabolism, growth, and development. The main cell types include follicular cells (thyrocytes) that synthesize T3 and T4, and parafollicular cells (C-cells) that secrete calcitonin. Proper function of these cells is essential for maintaining overall health, and dysfunction can lead to various thyroid disorders.
