Function | Catalytic subunit of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase complex that mediates the transfer of electrons from cytosolic NADPH to O2 to produce the superoxide anion (O2(-)) (PubMed:15338276, PubMed:36241643, PubMed:36413210, PubMed:38355798). In the activated complex, electrons are first transferred from NADPH to flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and subsequently transferred via two heme molecules to molecular oxygen, producing superoxide through an outer-sphere reaction (Probable) (PubMed:38355798). Activation of the NADPH oxidase complex is initiated by the assembly of cytosolic subunits of the NADPH oxidase complex with the core NADPH oxidase complex to form a complex at the plasma membrane or phagosomal membrane (PubMed:19028840, PubMed:38355798). This activation process is initiated by phosphorylation dependent binding of the cytosolic NCF1/p47-phox subunit to the C-terminus of CYBA/p22-phox (By similarity). NADPH oxidase complex assembly is impaired through interaction with NRROS (By similarity). |

Background
The NOX family of NAPDH oxidases is comprised of seven transmembrane proteins that oxidize intracellular NAPDH/NADH, causing electron transport across the membrane and the reduction of molecular oxygen to superoxide (1). NOX2, also known as cytochrome b beta (CYBB) is one of two proteins that make up Cytochrome b-245, thought to be a primary component of the microbicidal oxidase system of phagocytes. NOX2 deficiency is one of five described biochemical defects associated with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) (2). Activation of the NOX2 enzyme complex in microglia is thought to be neurotoxic and may play a role in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease (3).
