Anti-IYD

This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative NADPH-dependent deiodination of mono- and diiodotyrosine, which are the halogenated byproducts of thyroid hormone production. The N-terminus of the protein functions as a membrane anchor. Mutations in this gene cause congenital hypothyroidism due to dyshormonogenesis type 4, which is also referred to as deiodinase deficiency, or iodotyrosine dehalogenase deficiency, or thyroid hormonogenesis type 4. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Protein function: Catalyzes the dehalogenation of halotyrosines such as 3- bromo-L-tyrosine, 3-chloro-L-tyrosine, 3-iodo-L-tyrosine and 3,5- diiodo-L-tyrosine (PubMed:15289438, PubMed:18434651, PubMed:25395621, PubMed:28157283). During thyroid hormone biosynthesis, facilitates iodide salvage by catalysing the oxidative NADPH-dependent deiodination of the halogenated by-products of thyroid hormone production, monoiodotyrosine (L-MIT) and diiodotyrosine (L-DIT) (PubMed:15289438, PubMed:18434651). The scavanged iodide can then reenter the hormone- producing pathways (PubMed:15289438, PubMed:18434651). Acts more efficiently on 3-iodo-L-tyrosine than 3,5-diiodo-L-tyrosine (PubMed:15289438).
