NADPH Oxidases Methods and Protocols

This detailed volume explores the NADPH oxidase family of enzymes in human physiology and genetic disease, in which early discoveries represent prime examples of the finest translational “from bed to bench and back” studies. Methods are included for testi

Preface NADPH oxidases are the only enzymes solely dedicated to reduce molecular oxygen to superoxide and, under some circumstances, to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). NADPH oxidases, also termed NOX or DUOX (in the presence of an additional peroxidase-like extracellular N-terminal domain), are expressed widely in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The NOX/DUOX family consists of several structurally and functionally related members such as five NOX and two DUOX isoforms in humans. Although the general mechanism of elect
