Activation of NADPH oxidase by purine and pyrimidine nucleotides involves G proteins and is potentiated by chemotactic peptides [PDF]
Human neutrophils and HL-60 leukaemic cells possess an NADPH oxidase which catalyses superoxide (O2-) formation and is activated by the chemotactic peptide, N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe).

Neutrophil antimicrobial defense against Staphylococcus aureus. contribution of cathelicidin and the NADPH oxidase [PDF]
Neutrophils are among the most important components of the innate immune response, which provides the first line of host defense. The antimicrobial potential of neutrophils has been traditionally divided into either non-oxidative or oxidative ...

A case-control study of rheumatoid arthritis identifies an associated single nucleotide polymorphism in the NCF4 gene, supporting a role for the NADPH-oxidase complex in autoimmunity [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease with a heritability of 60%. Genetic contributions to RA are made by multiple genes, but only a few gene associations have yet been confirmed.

NADPH oxidase (NOX) in the heart : the interplay of NOX-derived ROS in β1-integrin-induced survival signalling [PDF]
Moderate levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as mediators in cellular signalling processes. An important source of cardiac ROS is the highly expressed NADPH oxidase (NOX) family isoform NOX2. However, little is known about whether NOX-derived ROS

NADPH oxidase mediates oxidative stress and ventricular remodeling through SIRT3/FOXO3a pathway in diabetic mice [PDF]
Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are important mechanisms of ventricular remodeling, predisposed to the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Alkalinity of Neutrophil Phagocytic Vacuoles Is Modulated by HVCN1 and Has Consequences for Myeloperoxidase Activity. [PDF]
The NADPH oxidase of neutrophils, essential for innate immunity, passes electrons across the phagocytic membrane to form superoxide in the phagocytic vacuole.

Nrf2 regulates ROS production by mitochondria and NADPH oxidase. [PDF]
Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2) factor 2 (Nrf2) is a crucial transcription factor mediating protection against oxidants. Nrf2 is negatively regulated by cytoplasmic Kelch-like ECH associated protein 1 (Keap1) thereby providing inducible antioxidant ...
