Anti-Rat DIO1 Polyclonal Antibody

Type I iodothyronine deiodinase (DIO1) is a ~29 kDa protein. Plays a crucial role in the metabolism of thyroid hormones (TH) and has specific roles in TH activation and inactivation by deiodination. Catalyzes the deiodination of L-thyroxine (T4) to 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) and 3',5'-diiodothyronine (3',5'-T2) to 3'-monoiodothyronine (3'-T1) via outer-ring deiodination (ORD). Catalyzes the deiodination of T4 to 3,3',5'-triiodothyronine (rT3), 3,5-diiodothyronine (3,5-T2) to 3-monoiodothyronine(3-T1) and 3,3'-diiodothyronine (3,3'-T2) to 3-T1 via inner-ring deiodination (IRD). Catalyzes the deiodination of rT3 to 3,3'-T2 via ORD. Catalyzes the phenolic ring deiodinations of 3,3',5'-triiodothyronamine, 3',5'-diiodothyronamine and 3,3'-diiodothyronamine as well as tyrosyl ring deiodinations of 3,5,3'-triiodothyronamine and 3,5-diiodothyronamine.
