Iodothyronine deiodinase
Iodothyronine deiodinases are a subfamily of deiodinase enzymes important in the activation and deactivation of thyroid hormones. Levothyroxine, the precursor of 3,5,3’-triiodothyronine is transformed into T3 by deiodinase activity. T3, through binding a nuclear thyroid hormone receptor, influences the expression of genes in practically every vertebrate cell. Iodothyronine deiodinases are unusual in that these enzymes contain selenium, in the form of an otherwise rare amino acid selenocysteine. These enzymes are not to be confused with the iodotyrosine deiodinases that are also deiodinases, but not members of the iodothyronine family. The iodotyrosine deiodinases do not use selenocysteine or selenium. The iodotryrosine enzymes work on iodinated single tyrosine residue molecules to scavenge iodine, and do not use as substrates the double-tyrosine residue molecules of the various iodothyronines.
