Figure 1: Dependence of ROS formation activated by PtdIns(3,4,5)P 3 and PtdIns(3)P on purified components. Figure 2: PtdIns(3)P activates a relipidated oxidase complex in the presence of p40 phox. Pig ...
NADPH oxidase is the key enzyme for the inducible production of superoxide (O − 2) and superoxide-derived reactive oxygen species in phagocytes and plays a crucial role in host defence mechanisms ...
