Ncf1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables superoxide-generating NADPH oxidase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose stimulus; cellular response to testosterone stimulus; and regulation of respiratory burst involved in inflammatory response. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; dendrite; and neuronal cell body. Part of NADPH oxidase complex. Used to study 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 rat 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.
