The NADPH oxidase of phagocytes catalyzes the conversion of oxygen to O2(-). This multicomponent enzyme complex contains five essential protein components, two in the membrane and three in the cytosol. Unassembled and inactive in resting phagocytes, the oxidase becomes active after translocation of cytosolic components to the membrane to assemble a ...

Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2006
NADPH oxidases have a distinct cellular localization in the kidney. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in the kidney by fibroblasts, endothelial cells (EC), vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), mesangial cells (MCs), tubular cells, and podocyte cells.

The NADPH Oxidase and the Phagosome
2020The key purpose of phagocytosis is the destruction of pathogenic microorganisms. The phagocytes exert a wide array of killing mechanisms that allow mastering the vast majority of pathogens. One of these mechanisms consists in the production of reactive oxygen species inside the phagosome by a specific enzyme, the phagocyte NADPH oxidase. This enzyme is

Role of Nadph Oxidase in Atherosclerosis
Future Cardiology, 2008Reactive oxidant species (ROS) seem to play a key role in the atherosclerotic process via a series of molecular changes that lead to macrophage infiltration in the endothelium and eventually to plaque formation. ROS are also implicated in arterial dysfunction via inactivation of nitric oxide, a potent vasodilator and antiaggregating molecule produced ...

NADPH oxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the production of superoxide from oxygen and NADPH. It is a complex enzyme consisting of two membrane-bound components and three components in the cytosol, plus rac 1 or rac 2. Activation of the oxidase involves the phosphorylation of one of the cytosolic components.

T HE NADPH OXIDASES are a group of plasma membrane–associated enzymes found in a variety of cells of mesodermal origin. The most thoroughly studied of these is the leukocyte NADPH oxidase, which is found in professional phagocytes and B lymphocytes.

Phospholipases and activation of the NADPH oxidase
European Journal of Haematology, 1993Abstract: The signal transductional mechanisms regulating the activation of NADPH oxidase, the respiratory burst enzyme in phagocytic cells, are not completely understood. Receptors for most physiologic stimuli trigger the activation of various phospholipases, including phospholipases A2, C, and D.

NADPH oxidases in cardiovascular disease
Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 2010Reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to several aspects of vascular diseases including ischemia-reperfusion injury, scavenging of nitric oxide, or stimulation of inflammation and hypertrophy. NADPH oxidases of the Nox family are differentially expressed in the cardiovascular system, induced or activated by cardiovascular risk factors and ...

A burst of plant NADPH oxidases
Trends in Plant Science, 2012Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules able to damage cellular components but they also act as cell signalling elements. ROS are produced by many different enzymatic systems. Plant NADPH oxidases, also known as respiratory burst oxidase homologues (RBOHs), are the most thoroughly studied enzymatic ROS-generating systems and our ...

NADPH oxidase and the respiratory burst
Seminars in Cell Biology, 1995Phagocytic cells possess an electron-transport system which accepts electrons from NADPH in the cytosol to reduce oxygen to the superoxide radical in the vacuolar lumen. The superoxide is instrumental in killing ingested microorganisms. Patients suffering from chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), in which this system is failing, are abnormally ...
