Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityNAD(P)H + O(2) = NAD(P)(+) + H(2)O(2). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15972824}.
Developmental StageWidely expressed in fetal tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11514595}.
DiseaseThyroid dyshormonogenesis 6 (TDH6) [MIM:607200]: A disorder due to a defective conversion of accumulated iodide to organically bound iodine. The iodide organification defect can be partial or complete. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12110737, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16134168, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16322276, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20187165}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Enzyme RegulationPeroxidase activity is inhibited by aminobenzohydrazide (By similarity). The NADPH oxidase activity is calcium-dependent. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15972824}.
FunctionGenerates hydrogen peroxide which is required for the activity of thyroid peroxidase/TPO and lactoperoxidase/LPO. Plays a role in thyroid hormones synthesis and lactoperoxidase-mediated antimicrobial defense at the surface of mucosa. May have its own peroxidase activity through its N-terminal peroxidase-like domain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12824283}.
InductionBy forskolin, thyrotropin and the Th1-specific cytokine IFNG/IFN-gamma. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10806195}.
PathwayHormone biosynthesis; thyroid hormone biosynthesis.
PtmN-glycosylated. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11822874}.
SimilarityContains 1 FAD-binding FR-type domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00716}.
SimilarityContains 1 ferric oxidoreductase domain. {ECO:0000305}.
SimilarityContains 3 EF-hand domains. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00448}.
SimilarityIn the N-terminal section; belongs to the peroxidase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationApical cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15591162}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15591162}. Note=Localizes to the apical membrane of epithelial cells.
SubunitInteracts with TXNDC11, TPO and CYBA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15561711}.
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in colon, small intestine, duodenum and tracheal surface epithelial cells (at protein level). Expressed in thyrocytes. Also detected in kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, prostate, salivary glands, rectum and testis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10806195, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11514595, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12824283, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15210697, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15591162}.
