NADPH oxidase

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 1996
Superoxide is instrumental in the killing of microorganisms by phagocytic cells. It is generated by the NADPH oxidase system, a membrane-bound electron transport complex which pumps electrons from NADPH in the cytoplasm across the wall of the phagocytic vacuole to molecular oxygen.

Mammalian NADPH Oxidases

2019
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive oxygen derivatives. Initially, they were considered as metabolic by-products (of mitochondria in particular), which consistently lead to aging and disease. Over the last decades, however, it became increasingly apparent that virtually all eukaryotic cells possess specifically ROS-producing enzymes ...

The Neutrophil NADPH Oxidase

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2002
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 ...

NADPH oxidases and cancer

Clinical Science, 2015
The mechanism by which reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced by tumour cells remained incompletely understood until the discovery over the last 15 years of the family of NADPH oxidases (NOXs 1–5 and dual oxidases DUOX1/2) which are structural homologues of gp91phox, the major membrane-bound component of the respiratory burst oxidase of leucocytes.

NADPH oxidase

Current Opinion in Immunology, 2004
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.

NADPH oxidases in cardiovascular disease

Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 2010
Reactive 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 ...

Receptor Activation of NADPH Oxidases

Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2010
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in many intra- and intercellular processes. High levels of ROS are generated as part of the innate immunity in the respiratory burst of phagocytic cells. Low levels of ROS, however, are generated in a highly controlled manner by various cell types to act as second messengers in redox-sensitive pathways.

NADPH oxidases and cardiac remodelling

Heart Failure Reviews, 2010
A heart under chronic stress undergoes cardiac remodelling, a process that comprises structural and functional changes including cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, interstitial fibrosis, contractile dysfunction, cell death and ventricular dilatation. Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent modulation of intracellular signalling is implicated in the development
