Reaction: 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine + iodide + acceptor + H+ = L-thyroxine + reduced acceptor
Glossary: 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine = O-(4-hydroxy-3-iodophenyl)-3,5-diiodo-L-tyrosine
L-thyroxine = O-(4-hydroxy-3,5-diiodophenyl)-3,5-diiodo-L-tyrosine
Other name(s): diiodothyronine 5'-deiodinase [ambiguous]; iodothyronine 5'-deiodinase; iodothyronine outer ring monodeiodinase; type I iodothyronine deiodinase; type II iodothyronine deiodinase; thyroxine 5-deiodinase [misleading]; L-thyroxine iodohydrolase (reducing)
Systematic name: 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine,iodide:acceptor oxidoreductase (iodinating)
Comments: The enzyme activity has only been demonstrated in the direction of 5'-deiodination, which renders the thyroid hormone more active. The enzyme consists of type I and type II enzymes, both containing selenocysteine, but with different kinetics. For the type I enzyme the first reaction is a reductive deiodination converting the -Se-H group of the enzyme into an -Se-I group; the reductant then reconverts this into -Se-H, releasing iodide.
