Gene Description

DUOX1 is a membrane NADPH oxidase that assembles with DUOXA1 and generates extracellular hydrogen peroxide. Its transmembrane hemes and cytosolic FAD/NADPH-binding machinery conduct electron transfer, while intracellular EF-hand elements mediate calcium regulation. The extracellular N-terminal region has a peroxidase-like fold but lacks the intrinsic peroxidase activity of a conventional mammalian peroxidase. DUOX1-derived peroxide contributes to epithelial defense and redox signaling. The selected protein sequence has an internal or terminal difference from the characterized human protein, so its precise activity and regulation remain to be established.

Summary: plasma membrane: Human DUOX1–DUOXA1 structures and functional experiments establish a membrane oxidase complex using heme, FAD and NADPH to generate extracellular H2O2, regulated by calcium-binding EF-hand elements. These are direct components of the oxidase mechanism. Transfer to horse is an inference; the paired-sequence report records model-specific gaps and limits.

Dual oxidases (DUOXs) produce hydrogen peroxide by transferring electrons from intracellular NADPH to extracellular oxygen. They are involved in many crucial biological processes and human diseases, especially in thyroid diseases. DUOXs are protein complexes co-assembled from the catalytic DUOX subunits and the auxiliary DUOXA subunits and their activities are regulated by intracellular calcium concentrations.

The H2O2 catabolism prediction conflicts with DUOX1 oxidase biology. Calcium binding and hormone-related functions remain uncertain because the selected horse sequence lacks major EF-hand elements.

GO:0042446 hormone biosynthetic process GO_BP
UNC β€” Uncertain Review score: 1/2
Prediction method: ProtNLM2 Β· Version: UniProt API snapshot 2026-09-08
Review rationale: Full-length mammalian DUOX1 is an H2O2-generating oxidase that can supply peroxidase chemistry; this makes a role in hormone synthesis plausible without implying that DUOX1 synthesizes hormone directly. However, the selected horse sequence deletes human residues 775–873, including major calcium-regulatory EF-hand elements. Its regulated oxidase competence and participation in the horse thyroid cannot be established from the intact human protein alone.
Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:33420071: "In the presence of calcium ions, intracellular EF-hand modules might enhance the catalytic activity of DUOX by stabilizing the dehydrogenase domain in a conformation that allows electron transfer."
  • file:HORSE/DUOX1/DUOX1-bioinformatics/RESULTS.md: "The global alignment deletes human DUOX1 residues 775–873 from the selected horse sequence. The fetched human UniProt feature table places EF-hand 1 at 815–850 and EF-hand 2 at 851–887. Thus the selected sequence lacks the first annotated EF-hand and most of the second, despite retaining the signal peptide, transmembrane oxidase region and C-terminal FAD/NADPH-binding region. Calcium-responsive activity cannot be transferred from full-length human DUOX1 without resolving this deletion."

PSEUDOENZYME OVERANNOTATION
Review rationale: The mammalian DUOX1 catalytic system generates H2O2; the isolated human peroxidase-like domain has no intrinsic peroxidase activity. Producing the substrate for a separate peroxidase is not evidence that DUOX1 carries out H2O2 catabolism. The selected horse protein retains the homologous peroxidase-like region, and no independent catabolic mechanism is supported. This prediction confuses an oxidant-generating enzyme with peroxide-consuming chemistry.

GO:0005509 calcium ion binding GO_MF
UNC β€” Uncertain Review score: 1/2
Prediction method: ProtNLM2 Β· Version: UniProt API snapshot 2026-09-08
Review rationale: Calcium binding is directly supported in full-length human DUOX1, but the selected horse sequence lacks the first annotated EF-hand and most of the second. Remaining EF-hand-like sequence cannot establish that this shortened protein preserves the experimentally observed calcium-binding sites. Resolve the gene model or measure calcium binding before accepting this exact-sequence prediction.
