IYD Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. IYD Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 214 amino acids (24-214 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 25.1kDa.IYD is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. IYD is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative NADPH-dependent deiodination of both mono- and diiodotyrosine although acts more efficiently on monoiodotyrosine. The N-terminus of Iodotyrosine Deiodinase , also known as IYD, plays a role as a membrane anchor. IYD acts during the hydrolysis of thyroglobulin to liberate iodide, which then reenter the hormone-producing pathways.
