Dual oxidase 2
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dual oxidase 2, also known as DUOX2 or ThOX2 (for thyroid oxidase), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DUOX2 gene.[5][6] Dual oxidase is an enzyme that was first identified in the mammalian thyroid gland. In humans, two isoforms are found; hDUOX1 and hDUOX2 (this enzyme). The protein location is not exclusive to thyroid tissue; hDUOX1 is prominent in airway epithelial cells[7] and hDUOX2 in the salivary glands and gastrointestinal tract.[8][9][10]
