SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The book reviews the literature on the regulation of NADPH oxidase, which is controversial in many areas, and refers specifically to relevant publications from the past 4 years. Main topics are catalytical properties, cofactor requirements and structural components of NADPH oxidase, activation of NADPH oxidase, inhibition of NADPH oxidase, reconstitution and regulation of NADPH oxidase activity in cell-free systems, and pathology of NADPH oxidase.
