Ncf1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

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. Orthologous to several human genes including NCF1 (neutrophil cytosolic factor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ncf1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
