deiodinázok
Deiodinázok are a family of enzymes that play a crucial role in thyroid hormone metabolism. These enzymes are responsible for catalyzing the removal of iodine atoms from thyroid hormones, primarily thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). This process is essential for regulating the body's metabolic rate and for ensuring that the appropriate levels of active thyroid hormone are present in different tissues and at different times.
There are three main types of deiodinases: deiodinase 1 (D1), deiodinase 2 (D2), and deiodinase 3 (D3).
The activity of deiodinases is tightly regulated by various factors, including thyroid hormone levels themselves, selenium,
