Duoxa2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity. Acts upstream of or within hydrogen peroxide metabolic process; regulation of inflammatory response; and regulation of thyroid hormone generation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including apical part of cell; cell leading edge; and endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; lung; and small intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in thyroid dyshormonogenesis 5. Orthologous to human DUOXA2 (dual oxidase maturation factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

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 Duoxa2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
