Abstract
The NADPH oxidase system is an enzymatic complex that generates superoxide. It is formed by membrane components, gp91-phox and p22-phox subunits (flavocytochrome b558), and cytoplasmic components (p47-phox, p67-phox and p40-phox). Defects in the expression of these components lead to Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD), a severe primary immunodeficiency characterized by the early onset of…
