Tissue Distribution Click here for help
DUOX2 is the main DUOX isoform expressed in the gastrointestinal tract- expressed most prominently within the colon epithelium at the tip of intestinal villi and within rectal glands.
Species:  Human
Technique: 
References:  4-5,7
Gene Expression and Pathophysiology Comments
Missense mutations in DUOX2 that cause diminished enzymatic function have been identified in patients with hypothyroidism [1], confirming the role of this enzyme isoform in thyroid hormone production.
