Type I iodothyronine deiodinase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DIO1 gene. This enzyme is a type of iodothyronine deiodinase ( / ), which are enzymes involved in activating and deactivate thyroid hormones by removing iodine atoms from them (called deiodination). This form is distinct in being capable of both activation and inactivation, unlike type II iodothyronine deiodinase which can only activate ( ) thyroid hormones, and type III iodothyronine deiodinase which can only deactivate ( ) thyroid hormones.
