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 this encoded protein and DUOX1. This protein is known as dual oxidase because it has both a peroxidase homology domain and a gp91phox domain. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against DUOX2 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads DUOX2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DUOX2 could matter depends on whether native DUOX2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

DUOX2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native DUOX2 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 DUOX2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
