Thyroxine, also known as T4, is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. It is the primary form of thyroid hormone found in the blood and acts as a prohormone of the more active thyroid hormone, triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroxine and its active metabolites are essential for regulating metabolic rate, supporting heart and muscle function, promoting brain development, and maintaining bone health.

Thyroxine is een prohormoon dat geproduceerd en afgescheiden wordt door de schildklier. Het is beter bekend als T4. Het is ook in de handel als geneesmiddel onder de naam levothyroxine. Dit wordt voorgeschreven als de schildklier niet of te traag werkt. De stof is opgenomen in de lijst van essentiële geneesmiddelen van de WHO.
