Nox1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables NAD(P)H oxidase H2O2-forming activity and superoxide-generating NAD(P)H oxidase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to mercury ion; cellular response to platelet-derived growth factor stimulus; and positive regulation of cellular component organization. Part of NADPH oxidase complex. Used to study Parkinson's disease; pulmonary hypertension; transient cerebral ischemia; and vascular dementia. Biomarker of middle cerebral artery infarction; pulmonary hypertension; and traumatic brain injury. Orthologous to human NOX1 (NADPH oxidase 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 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.
