Also known as P138-TOXP138(TOX)THOX2LNOX2

Summary

DUOX2 (dual oxidase 2, HGNC:13273) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q21.1, encoding Dual oxidase 2 (Q9NRD8). Generates hydrogen peroxide which is required for the activity of thyroid peroxidase/TPO and lactoperoxidase/LPO.

The protein encoded by this gene is a glycoprotein and a member of the NADPH oxidase family. The synthesis of thyroid hormone is catalyzed by a protein complex located at the apical membrane of thyroid follicular cells. This complex contains an iodide transporter, thyroperoxidase, and a peroxide generating system that includes this encoded protein and DUOX1. This protein is known as dual oxidase because it has both a peroxidase homology domain and a gp91phox domain.

Function. Generates hydrogen peroxide which is required for the activity of thyroid peroxidase/TPO and lactoperoxidase/LPO. Plays a role in thyroid hormone synthesis. Also required for lactoperoxidase-mediated antimicrobial defense at the surface of mucosa. Synthesizes NAADP from its reduced NAADPH form which promotes Ca(2+) signaling during T cell activation. May have its own peroxidase activity through its N-terminal peroxidase-like domain.

Subunit / interactions. Heterodimer with DUOXA2; disulfide-linked. Interacts with TXNDC11, TPO and CYBA.

Subcellular location. Apical cell membrane. Cell junction.

Tissue specificity. Expressed in colon, small intestine, duodenum and tracheal surface epithelial cells (at protein level). Expressed in thyrocytes. Also detected in kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, prostate, salivary glands, rectum and testis.

Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated.

Disease relevance. Thyroid dyshormonogenesis 6 (TDH6) [MIM:607200] A disorder due to a defective conversion of accumulated iodide to organically bound iodine. The iodide organification defect can be partial or complete. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Defects in DUOX2 may play a role in the pathogenesis of very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEOIBD), a chronic, relapsing inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract with a complex etiology diagnosed before 6 years of age. VEOIBD is subdivided into Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis phenotypes. Crohn disease may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus, but the phenotype of children with onset of Crohn disease occurring younger than the age of 10 is predominantly colonic, with a lower risk of ileal disease. Bowel inflammation is transmural and discontinuous; it may contain granulomas or be associated with intestinal or perianal fistulas. In contrast, in ulcerative colitis, the inflammation is continuous and limited to rectal and colonic mucosal layers; fistulas and granulomas are not observed. Both diseases include extraintestinal inflammation of the skin, eyes, or joints.

Activity regulation. Peroxidase activity is inhibited by aminobenzohydrazide. The NADPH oxidase activity is calcium-dependent.

Induction. By forskolin, thyrotropin and the Th1-specific cytokine IFNG/IFN-gamma.

Pathway. Hormone biosynthesis; thyroid hormone biosynthesis.

Similarity. In the N-terminal section; belongs to the peroxidase family.
