The Dio2 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO19574) is a powerful tool for researchers studying the Dio2 protein, which plays a critical role in thyroid hormone regulation and metabolism. This antibody, generated in rabbits, exhibits high specificity and sensitivity when used in various applications such as immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Dio2 is an enzyme responsible for converting the inactive thyroid hormone T4 into the active form T3, which is essential for proper metabolic function and development. Dysregulation of Dio2 activity has been linked to thyroid disorders, obesity, and metabolic syndrome, making it a promising target for therapeutic interventions.
This antibody enables the detection and quantification of Dio2 protein levels in different tissues and cell types, providing valuable insights into its function and potential implications for disease processes. Researchers in the fields of endocrinology, metabolism, and thyroid biology will find the Dio2 Polyclonal Antibody essential for their investigations into thyroid hormone regulation and related pathologies.

Background:
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the iodothyronine deiodinase family. It activates thyroid hormone by converting the prohormone thyroxine (T4) by outer ring deiodination (ORD) to bioactive 3,3',5-triiodothyronine (T3). It is highly expressed in the thyroid, and may contribute significantly to the relative increase in thyroidal T3 production in patients with Graves disease and thyroid adenomas. This protein contains selenocysteine (Sec) residues encoded by the UGA codon, which normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTR of Sec-containing genes have a common stem-loop structure, the sec insertion sequence (SECIS), which is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon rather than as a stop signal. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
Synonyms:
deiodinase, iodothyronine, type II
UniProt Protein Function:
DIO2: Responsible for the deiodination of T4 (3,5,3',5'- tetraiodothyronine) into T3 (3,5,3'-triiodothyronine). Essential for providing the brain with appropriate levels of T3 during the critical period of development. Belongs to the iodothyronine deiodinase family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

NCBI Summary:
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the iodothyronine deiodinase family. It catalyzes the conversion of prohormone thyroxine (3,5,3',5'-tetraiodothyronine, T4) to the bioactive thyroid hormone (3,5,3'-triiodothyronine, T3) by outer ring 5'-deiodination. This gene is widely expressed, including in thyroid, placenta, pituitary and brain. It is thought to be responsible for the 'local' production of T3, and thus important in influencing thyroid hormone action in these tissues. It has also been reported to be highly expressed in thyroids of patients with Graves disease, and in follicular adenomas. The intrathyroidal T4 to T3 conversion by this enzyme may contribute significantly to the relative increase in thyroidal T3 production in these patients. This protein is a selenoprotein containing the rare selenocysteine (Sec) amino acid at its active site, and may contain additional Sec residues. Sec is encoded by the UGA codon, which normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs contain a conserved stem-loop structure, designated the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element, that is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon, rather than as a stop signal. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]
