Polymorphism of the NADH/NADPH Oxidase <i>p22 phox</i> Gene in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
20 Jan 1998
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress in the vasculature has been implicated in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). NADH/NADPH oxidase is a key enzyme of superoxide production in the vasculature. p22 phox, an essential component of NADH/NADPH oxidase, has four types of polymorphism. The C242T polymorphism changes histidine-72 to tyrosine, located in the potential heme-binding sites, whereas A640G...
