Nox1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
This gene encodes a subunit of the NADPH oxidase enzyme, which is a membrane-bound, multisubunit protein. This complex catalyzes the transfer of electrons from NADPH to molecular oxygen to produce superoxide or hydrogen peroxide and may have a role in antimicrobial killing and cell signaling. This protein binds other subunits in order to produce superoxide. In mouse, deficiency of this enzyme may be associated with changes in blood pressure. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]

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 Nox1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
