DUOX2 Products

Description

Dual oxidase 2 (DUOX2), a reduced NAD phosphate:O2 oxidoreductase flavoprotein, plays a critical role in the synthesis of thyroid hormones by providing thyroperoxidase with hydrogen peroxide, which is required for hormone synthesis at the apical plasma membrane. The discovery of DUOX-2 as a novel source of hydrogen peroxide in the digestive tract, particularly in the cecum and colon, makes it a new candidate mediator of physiopathological processes.

DUOX2 antibodies may be useful tools for thyroid hormone synthesis, hormonal regulation disorders, and certian types of cancer.
