General annotation (Comments)
Function
Iodination and coupling of the hormonogenic tyrosines in thyroglobulin to yield the thyroid hormones T3 and T4.
Catalytic activity
2 iodide + H2O2 + 2 H+ = 2 iodine + 2 H2O.
[Thyroglobulin]-L-tyrosine + iodide + H2O2 = [thyroglobulin]-3-iodo-L-tyrosine + 2 H2O.
[Thyroglobulin]-3-iodo-L-tyrosine + iodide + H2O2 = [thyroglobulin]-3,5-diiodo-L-tyrosine + 2 H2O.
2 [thyroglobulin]-3,5-diiodo-L-tyrosine + H2O2 = [thyroglobulin]-L-thyroxine + [thyroglobulin]-aminoacrylate + 2 H2O.
[Thyroglobulin]-3-iodo-L-tyrosine + [thyroglobulin]-3,5-diiodo-L-tyrosine + H2O2 = [thyroglobulin]-3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine + [thyroglobulin]-aminoacrylate + 2 H2O.
Cofactor
Binds 1 calcium ion per heterodimer By similarity.
Binds 1 heme B (iron-protoporphyrin IX) group covalently per heterodimer By similarity.
Pathway
Hormone biosynthesis; thyroid hormone biosynthesis.
Subunit structure
Interacts with DUOX1, DUOX2 and CYBA. Ref.10
Subcellular location
Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Isoform 3: Cell surface.
Post-translational modification
Glycosylated.
Heme is covalently bound through a H2O(2)-dependent autocatalytic process. Heme insertion is important for the delivery of protein at the cell surface.
Cleaved in its N-terminal part.
Involvement in disease
An alternative splicing in the thyroperoxidase mRNA can cause Graves' disease. Ref.9
Thyroid dyshormonogenesis 2A (TDH2A) [MIM:274500]: A disorder due to defective conversion of accumulated iodide to organically bound iodine. The iodide organification defect can be partial or complete.
Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.9 Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.13 Ref.14 Ref.15 Ref.16 Ref.17 Ref.18 Ref.19 Ref.20 Ref.21 Ref.22 Ref.23 Ref.24 Ref.25 Ref.26
