Roles of DUOX-Mediated Hydrogen Peroxide in Metabolism, Host Defense, and Signaling
7 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
SIGNIFICANCE: Among the NADPH oxidases, the dual oxidases, DUOX1 and DUOX2, constitute a distinct subfamily initially called thyroid oxidases, based on their high level of expression in thyroid tissue. Genetic alterations causing inherited hypothyroidism clearly demonstrate their physiological implication in thyroid hormonogenesis. However, a growing list of biological functions triggered by DUOX-dependent...
