The thyroid trap is an ATP driven Iodide pump found in the basal plasma membrane of the follicular cells which transports iodine against its concentration gradient into the colloid. Thyroglobulin rich in tyrosine residues is in the colloid and is available for iodination. Iodination of thyroglobulin is by thyroid peroxidase.
