EC 1.6.3.1 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.6.3.1

Accepted name

NAD(P)H oxidase (H₂O₂-forming)

Reaction

NAD(P)H + H⁺ + O₂ = NAD(P)⁺ + H₂O₂

Other name(s)

THOX2, ThOX, dual oxidase, p138tox, thyroid NADPH oxidase, thyroid oxidase, thyroid oxidase 2, NADPH oxidase, NAD(P)H:oxygen oxidoreductase, NAD(P)H oxidase

Systematic name

NAD(P)H:oxygen oxidoreductase (H₂O₂-forming)

CAS registry number

77106-92-4

Comment

Requires FAD, heme and calcium. When calcium is present, this transmembrane glycoprotein generates H₂O₂ by transfering electrons from intracellular NAD(P)H to extracellular molecular oxygen. The electron bridge within the enzyme contains one molecule of FAD and probably two heme groups. This flavoprotein is expressed at the apical membrane of thyrocytes, and provides H₂O₂ for the thyroid peroxidase-catalysed biosynthesis of thyroid hormones.
