Abstract excerpt
The iodothyronine deiodinases are a family of oxidoreductases that catalyze the removal of iodide from thyroid hormones. Each of the three isoforms contain selenocysteine at its active site and several cysteine residues that may be important for catalytic activity. Of particular interest in the type I deiodinase (D1) is Cys124, which is vicinal to the selenocysteine at position 126, and Cys194, which has been...
