DIO1 (deiodinase, iodothyronine, type I), also known as TXDI1, ITDI1 or 5DI, is a 249 amino acid single-pass membrane protein that localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and belongs to the iodothyronine deiodinase family. Expressed as nine alternatively spliced isoforms, DIO1 functions as a thiol-dependent propylthiouracil-sensitive oxidoreductase that converts the prohormone thyroxine (T4) to bioactive 3,3',5-triiodothyronine (T3), thereby playing a role in thyroid hormone (TH) activation. Human DIO1 shares 88% sequence similarity with its rat counterpart, suggesting a conserved role between species. The gene encoding DIO1 maps to human chromosome 1, which spans 260 million base pairs, contains over 3,000 genes and comprises nearly 8% of the human genome.
