Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables superoxide-generating NAD(P)H oxidase activity. Involved in inflammatory response; innate immune response; and superoxide metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within hydrogen peroxide biosynthetic process. Located in phagocytic vesicle and plasma membrane. Part of NADPH oxidase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiac muscle tissue; genitourinary system; and immune system. Used to study chronic granulomatous disease and systemic lupus erythematosus.
