Evolutionary origin and function of NOX4-art, an arthropod specific NADPH oxidase

Evolutionary origin and function of NOX4-art, an arthropod specific NADPH oxidase

Abstract Background NADPH oxidases (NOX) are ROS producing enzymes that perform essential roles in cell physiology, including cell signaling and antimicrobial defense. This gene family is present in most eukaryotes, suggesting a common ancestor. To date, only a limited number of phylogenetic studies...
