The Sonic Hedgehog-Induced Type 3 Deiodinase Facilitates Tumorigenesis of Basal Cell Carcinoma by Reducing Gli2 Inactivation
2 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
Thyroid hormone (TH) is an important regulator of growth, development, and metabolism. Most of the active TH T3 is generated by peripheral TH metabolism mediated by the iodothyronine deiodinases. Type 3 deiodinase (D3) inactivates T3 via specific deiodination reactions. It is an oncofetal protein frequently expressed in neoplastic tissues and is a direct target of the sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway in basal cell...
