Abstract excerpt
NAD(P)H oxidase is a prominent source of reactive oxygen species in the vasculature. Vascular NAD(P)H oxidase is comprised of several subunits, one of which, p22phox, is encoded by a gene exhibiting several allelic variants. Here the C(242)T nucleotide transition has been found to alter superoxid...
