The problem as to whether iodohistidines are normally biosynthetized in thyroglobulin and thyralbumin has been examined both in man and the rat. Evidence has been obtained for the first time that diiodohistidine (DIH) is present in both species in these two iodoproteins. The biosynthesis of monoiodohistidine (MIH) in the thyroglobulin of the normal rat has been confirmed and extended to rat thyralbumin and to human thyroid iodoproteins.
