Primary Identifier | MGI:1914061 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 66811 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) 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). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele of Duoxa1 and 2 exhibit severe hypothyrodism with severe postnatal growth, delayed eye opening, enlarged thyroid, enlarged adenohypophysis, respiratory distress and death at weaning when weaned at 21 days.
