This gene encodes an enzyme that is localized primarily to the Golgi apparatus and secreted fluids.[8] QSOX1 is a multi-domain disulfide catalyst. Unlike other disulfide catalysts, QSOX1 can both generate disulfides de novo and catalyze dithiol/disulfide exchange. The de novo disulfide bond formation is catalyzed by the ERV1 domain that contains a FAD co-factor that allows depositions of electrons onto the terminal electron acceptor, typically molecular oxygen. The dithiol/disulfide exchange is catalyzed by the thioredoxin domain. The two domains are linked together by a flexible linker that allows the thioredoxin domain to first interact with the substrate protein and then regenerate by ERV1 domain.[9]

QSOX1 gene expression is induced as fibroblasts begin to exit the proliferative cycle and enter quiescence,[10][11] suggesting that this gene plays an important role in growth regulation. In fibroblasts QSOX1 is required for normal incorporation of laminin into the extracellular matrix, and thereby for normal cell-cell adhesion and cell migration.[12]

Two transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene.[13][7] The two isoforms have different tissue distribution and in addition isoform 1 has a transmembrane helix in the carboxy terminal while isoform 2 is a secreted soluble protein.
