Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionduox-2 encodes a large partial homolog of dual oxidase, with an N-terminal peroxidase domain, two central calmodulin-binding EF hands, and a C-terminal superoxide-generating NADPH-oxidase domain; duox-2 may be required for dityrosine cross-linking of collagen, and thus for cuticular integrity; duox-2 may use cytosolic NADPH to generate reactive oxygen, which then may drive the peroxidase ectodomain to cross-link free tyrosine in collagen; DUOX-2 has no visible expression pattern detectable by antibodies, implying very low or rare expression.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004841

Automated_descriptionPredicted 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).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
