NOX4 Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

The NOX family of NAPDH oxidases is comprised of seven transmembrane proteins that oxidize intracellular NAPDH/NADH, causing electron transport across the membrane and the reduction of molecular oxygen to superoxide (1) . NOX4 is is expressed in multiple tissues and catalyzes the reduction of molecular oxygen to various reactive oxygen species (ROS) (2,3) . Unlike other NOX proteins, NOX4 does not require cytosolic subunits and thus is constitutively active (4) . The function of NOX4 remains unclear as it plays both protective and deleterious roles in cellular metabolism.
