Abstract
⺠Human DUOX1 cannot substitute for DUOX2 in thyroid hormone synthesis. ⺠DUOX2 like DUOX1, yields a protein that does not co-purify with heme. ⺠DUOX2 peroxidase-like domain is more structurally stable than that of DUOX1. ⺠Heme titrations show both DUOX peroxidase-like domains bind heme weakly. ⺠Tighter heme binding may require interaction with a protein partner such as DUOXA2.
