duox-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable superoxide-generating NAD(P)H oxidase activity. Involved in cuticle development involved in collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle molting cycle and post-embryonic body morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of NADPH oxidase complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cholera; inflammatory bowel disease (multiple); and thyroid dyshormonogenesis 6. Is an ortholog of human DUOX2 (dual oxidase 2).
