Summary
Duox2 plays pivotal roles in the Tlr5-dependent inflammatory response of nasal airway epithelium. Duox2 activation is required for flagellin-induced reactive oxygen species production, as well as the induction of mucin and MIP-2alpha in nasal epithelial cells.
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Homo sapiens] DUOX2 is a member of the NAD(P)H oxidase family and is involved in NOD2-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.
[Homo sapiens] DUOX2 and DUOX1 localize to the apical plasma membrane of epithelial cells in major airways, salivary glands, and the gastrointestinal tract, and provide extracellular hydrogen peroxide to lactoperoxidase to produce antimicrobial hypothiocyanite ions. Expression of dual oxidases DUOX2 and DUOX1 is regulated by Th1 and Th2 cytokines in human airways.
[Homo sapiens] DUOX2 expression is mediated by IFN-gamma via a STAT-independent signalling pathway, providing insights into a novel IFN-gamma signalling pathway with potential importance for regulation of host defence responses.

Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000140279:
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]
