^ Croteau W, Davey JC, Galton VA, St Germain DL (Sep 1996).National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. Interactions ĭIO2 has been shown to interact with USP33. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. 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. This protein contains selenocysteine (Sec) residues encoded by the UGA codon, which normally signals translation termination. It is highly expressed in the thyroid, and may contribute significantly to the relative increase in thyroidal T 3 production in patients with Graves' disease and thyroid adenomas. It activates thyroid hormone by converting the prohormone thyroxine (T 4) by outer ring deiodination (ORD) to bioactive 3,3',5-triiodothyronine (T 3). The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the iodothyronine deiodinase family.
