Tpo

This gene encodes a membrane-bound glycoprotein. The encoded enzyme plays a central role in thyroid gland function. The enzyme functions in the iodination of tyrosine residues in thyroglobulin and phenoxy-ester formation between pairs of iodinated tyrosines to generate the thyroid hormones, thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Mice with homozygous missense mutations in this gene exhibit hypothyroid dwarfism and hearing impairment. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Tpo often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
