Types
The group includes:- Thyronamine
- 3-Iodothyronamine, which is the most notable one as it is a trace amine found in the nervous system. It is a possible candidate for the natural ligand of the trace amine-associated receptor TAAR1, an intracellular G protein-coupled receptor
- 3,5-Diiodothyronamine
- 3,5,3'-Triiodothyronamine
