Abstract excerpt
Type I deiodinase is the best characterized member of a small family of selenoenzymes catalyzing the bioactivation and disposal of thyroid hormone. This enzyme is an integral membrane protein composed of two 27-kDa subunits that assemble into a functional enzyme after translation using a highly conserved sequence of 16 amino acids in the C-terminal half of the polypeptide, (148)DFLXXYIXEAHXXDGW(163). In this...
