Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables FMN binding activity and iodotyrosine deiodinase activity. Involved in tyrosine metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic vesicle membrane and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in thyroid gland. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in thyroid dyshormonogenesis 4. Orthologous to human IYD (iodotyrosine deiodinase).
