Product description |
NOX2, also named as CYBB, CGD, 91-phox, gp91-1, gp91-phox, p22 phagocyte B-cytochrome, cytochrome b-245 or beta polypeptide, is a critical component of the membrane-bound oxidase of phagocytes that generates superoxide. It is the terminal component of a respiratory chain that transfers single electrons from cytoplasmic NADPH across the plasma membrane to molecular oxygen on the exterior. This full length protein has three glycosylation sites. CYBB is found in human cardiomyocytes as multiple bands:the signal between 55 and 65 kDa is probably the unglycosylated protein, because the predicted molecular weight of unglycosylated CYBB protein is approximately 58 kDa to 65 kDa in phagocytes and the bands around 80 kDa probably represent glycosylated CYBB, as has also been shown in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. |
