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 cytos...
