DIO3 Polyclonal Antibody

catalytic activity:3,3',5'-triiodo-L-thyronine + iodide + A + H(+) = L-thyroxine + AH(2).,function:Responsible for the deiodination of T4 (3,5,3',5'-tetraiodothyronine) into RT3 (3,3',5'-triiodothyronine) and of T3 (3,5,3'-triiodothyronine) into T2 (3,3'-diiodothyronine). RT3 and T2 are inactive metabolites. May play a role in preventing premature exposure of developing fetal tissues to adult levels of thyroid hormones. Can regulate circulating fetal thyroid hormone concentrations throughout gestation. Essential role for regulation of thyroid hormone inactivation during embryological development.,function:Responsible for the deiodination of T4 (3,5,3',5'-tetraiodothyronine).,similarity:Belongs to the iodothyronine deiodinase family.,tissue specificity:Expressed in placenta and several fetal tissues.,
