Background
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 proteins encoded by this gene and the similar DUOX2 gene. This protein is known as dual oxidase because it has both a peroxidase homology domain and a gp91phox domain. This protein generates hydrogen peroxide and thereby plays a role in the activity of thyroid peroxidase, lactoperoxidase, and in lactoperoxidase-mediated antimicrobial defense at mucosal surfaces. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012],
Function
catalytic activity:NAD(P)H + O(2) = NAD(P)(+) + H(2)O(2).,developmental stage:Widely expressed in fetal tissues.,enzyme regulation:The NADPH oxidase activity is calcium-dependent. Peroxidase activity is inhibited by aminobenzohydrazide.,function:Generates hydrogen peroxide which is required for the activity of thyroid peroxidase/TPO and lactoperoxidase/LPO. Plays a role in thyroid hormones synthesis and lactoperoxidase-mediated antimicrobial defense at the surface of mucosa. May have its own peroxidase activity through its N-terminal peroxidase-like domain.,induction:By forskolin (at protein level). By thyrotropin and the Th2-specific cytokines IL-4 and IL-13.,pathway:Hormone biosynthesis; thyroid hormone biosynthesis.,PTM:N-glycosylated.,sequence caution:Translated as Arg.,similarity:Contains 1 FAD-binding FR-type domain.,similarity:Contains 1 ferric oxidoreductase domain.,similarity:Co
