NADPH Oxidases

The phagocyte NADPH oxidase (Nox2) is a key enzyme of the inflammation process[1]. It is expressed mainly in phagocytic cells, i.e. neutrophils, macrophages, where ROS produced in huge amount are bactericidal tools, but also in non-phagocytic cells where ROS are signaling molecules (mentioned below).
