THE ROLE OF NADPH OXIDASE IN NEURITE OUTGROWTH AND ZEBRAFISH NEURODEVELOPMENT
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidases (NOX) are a family of enzymes that produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). The first NOX enzyme was discovered in leukocytes and associated with host defense in the immune system. Subsequent findings of ROS production in non-immune cells led to …

The role of Nox2 containing NADPH oxidase in hypertensive heart disease
NADPH oxidases are a family of reactive oxygen species generating enzymes which are implicated in cardiovascular pathophysiology. The Nox2-based NADPH oxidase has been reported to be involved in the development of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. However the relevant cellular source(s) involved in …

Solution Structure and Characterization of Lipid Binding of the NOXO1β PX Domain
The NADPH oxidases are multiprotein enzyme complexes which catalyze the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The most studied of these is the phagocytic NADPH oxidase (PHOX), which is found in neutrophils, macrophages and monocytes. The PHOX enzyme plays a role in the host immune response …

The mechanism for paraquat toxicity involves oxidative stress and inflammation : a model for Parkinson's disease
… ROS production was attenuate by inhibitors for NADPH oxidase, protein kinase C and extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2. Under inflammatory conditions, microglial cells respond to cytokines by induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase which produces nitric oxide (NO). Our results show …
