Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity. Acts upstream of or within hydrogen peroxide metabolic process; regulation of inflammatory response; and regulation of thyroid hormone generation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including apical part of cell; cell leading edge; and endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; lung; and small intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in thyroid dyshormonogenesis 5. Orthologous to human DUOXA2 (dual oxidase maturation factor 2).
