Background
This gene encodes a member of the NOX-family of enzymes that functions as the catalytic subunit the NADPH oxidase complex. The encoded protein is localized to non-phagocytic cells where it acts as an oxygen sensor and catalyzes the reduction of molecular oxygen to various reactive oxygen species (ROS). The ROS generated by this protein have been implicated in numerous biological functions including signal transduction, cell differentiation and tumor cell growth. A pseudogene has been identified on the other arm of chromosome 11. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009],
Function
developmental stage:Expressed in fetal kidney and fetal liver.,enzyme regulation:Inhibited by plumbagin (By similarity). Activated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Activated by insulin. Inhibited by diphenylene iodonium.,function:Constitutive NADPH oxidase which generates superoxide intracellularly upon formation of a complex with CYBA/p22phox. Regulates signaling cascades probably through phosphatases inhibition. May function as an oxygen sensor regulating the KCNK3/TASK-1 potassium channel and HIF1A activity. May regulate insulin signaling cascade. May play a role in apoptosis, bone resorption and lipolysaccharide-mediated activation of NFKB. Isoform 3 is not functional. Isoform 4 displays an increased activity while isoform 5 and isoform 6 display reduced activity. May produce superoxide in the nucleus and play a role in regulating gene expression upon cell stimulation.,induc
