Enables superoxide-generating NADPH oxidase activator activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular defense response; hydrogen peroxide biosynthetic process; and neutrophil-mediated killing of symbiont cell. Located in cytoplasm and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study chronic granulomatous disease and rheumatoid arthritis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Williams-Beuren syndrome; autosomal recessive chronic granulomatous disease 1; and chronic granulomatous disease.
