Abstract excerpt
The leukocyte NADPH oxidase catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to superoxide (O-2) at the expense of NADPH in phagocytes and B lymphocytes. The enzyme is dormant in resting cells but becomes active when the cells are exposed to appropriate stimuli. During oxidase activation, the highly basic cytosolic oxidase component p47(PHOX) becomes phosphorylated on several serines and migrates to the plasma membrane. We...
