OverviewNCBI Gene

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]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads DUOX1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DUOX1 could matter depends on whether native DUOX1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

DUOX1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native DUOX1 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label DUOX1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
