Abstract excerpt
Defective NADPH oxidase components prevent superoxide (O-2) generation, causing chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). X-linked CGD patients have mutations in the gene encoding the gp91(phox) subunit of cytochrome b558 and usually lack gp91(phox) protein completely (X91(0)). gp91(phox) is considered to be a flavocytochrome that contains binding sites for NADPH, FAD, as well as heme. We here report a rare X-linked...
