Abstract excerpt
Dual oxidase 2 (DUOX2), an NADPH:O(2) oxidoreductase flavoprotein, is a component of the thyroid H(2)O(2) generator crucial for hormone synthesis at the apical membrane. Mutations in DUOX2 produce congenital hypothyroidism in humans. However, no functional DUOX-based NADPH oxidase has ever been reconstituted at the plasma membrane of transfected cells. It has been proposed that DUOX retention in the endoplasmatic...
