Abstract excerpt
In humans, hereditary inactivation of either p22(phox) or gp91(phox) leads to chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a severe immune disorder characterized by the inability of phagocytes to produce bacteria-destroying ROS. Heterodimers of p22(phox) and gp91(phox) proteins constitute the superoxide-...
