Disease relevance of DUOXA2

  • We report the first mutation in DUOXA2, identified in a patient with CH and dyshormonogenic goiter [1].
 

High impact information on DUOXA2

  • By data mining of a massively parallel signature sequencing tissue expression data base, we identified an uncharacterized gene named DUOX maturation factor (DUOXA2) arranged head-to-head to and co-expressed with DUOX2 [2].
 

Anatomical context of DUOXA2

  • We demonstrate that co-expression of DUOXA2, an ER-resident transmembrane protein, allows ER-to-Golgi transition, maturation, and translocation to the plasma membrane of functional DUOX2 in a heterologous system [2].
