Dual oxidase 2 is an important enzyme in thyroid hormone biosynthesis and peroxide metabolism. Dual oxidase 2 generates the hydrogen peroxide needed for thyroid peroxidase and lactoperoxidase enzymes as well as processes H2O2 made during metabolic processes. Dual oxidase also plays a role in anti-microbial defense in our mucous membranes by providing the peroxidase for lactoperoxidase's antimicrobial activities. Dual oxidase 2 is also needed for various extracellular matrix stabilizations and protein cross-linking needs such as during cuticle formation. Dual oxidase 2 is widely expressed in the developing fetus, and in the adult, it is largely expressed in the mucosal and epithelial cells and linings of the gut, lung, salivary glands and testis. Dual oxidase also plays a role in many hypersensitivity and inflammatory diseases and is upregulated in diseases such as colitis and certain cancers.
