DIO1

DIO1, also known as Type 1 Deiodinase, is a crucial enzyme involved in the regulation of thyroid hormone activity. Positioned predominantly within various tissues, including the liver, kidney, and thyroid gland, DIO1 plays a pivotal role in controlling thyroid hormone levels and mediating tissue-specific responses to thyroid hormones. One of the primary functions of DIO1 is its involvement in the activation of thyroid hormones through the conversion of thyroxine (T4), the inactive form of thyroid hormone, into triiodothyronine (T3), the active form. DIO1 accomplishes this by catalyzing the removal of an iodine atom from the outer ring of T4, generating T3,...
