Human Gene NOX4 (ENST00000263317.9) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4), transcript variant 1, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_016931)
RefSeq Summary (NM_016931): This gene encodes a member of the NOX-family of enzymes that functions as the catalytic subunit the NADPH oxidase complex. The encoded protein is localized to non-phagocytic cells where it acts as an oxygen sensor and catalyzes the reduction of molecular oxygen to various reactive oxygen species (ROS). The ROS generated by this protein have been implicated in numerous biological functions including signal transduction, cell differentiation and tumor cell growth. A pseudogene has been identified on the other arm of chromosome 11. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009].

  ID: NOX4_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=NADPH oxidase 4; EC=1.6.3.-; AltName: Full=Kidney oxidase-1; Short=KOX-1; AltName: Full=Kidney superoxide-producing NADPH oxidase; AltName: Full=Renal NAD(P)H-oxidase;
FUNCTION: Constitutive NADPH oxidase which generates superoxide intracellularly upon formation of a complex with CYBA/p22phox. Regulates signaling cascades probably through phosphatases inhibition. May function as an oxygen sensor regulating the KCNK3/TASK-1 potassium channel and HIF1A activity. May regulate insulin signaling cascade. May play a role in apoptosis, bone resorption and lipolysaccharide-mediated activation of NFKB. May produce superoxide in the nucleus and play a role in regulating gene expression upon cell stimulation. Isoform 3 is not functional. Isoform 4 displays an increased activity. Isoform 5 and isoform 6 display reduced activity.
ENZYME REGULATION: Inhibited by plumbagin (By similarity). Activated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Activated by insulin. Inhibited by diphenylene iodonium.
SUBUNIT: Interacts with protein disulfide isomerase (By similarity). Interacts with, relocalizes and stabilizes CYBA/p22phox. Interacts with TLR4.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (Probable). Cell junction, focal adhesion (Probable). Nucleus (Probable). Note=May localize to plasma membrane and focal adhesions. According to PubMed:15927447, may also localize to the nucleus.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by distal tubular cells in kidney cortex and in endothelial cells (at protein level). Widely expressed. Strongly expressed in kidney and to a lower extent in heart, adipocytes, hepatoma, endothelial cells, skeletal muscle, brain, several brain tumor cell lines and airway epithelial cells.
DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed in fetal kidney and fetal liver.
INDUCTION: By 7-ketocholesterol (at protein level).
PTM: Isoform 3 and isoform 4 are N-glycosylated. Isoform 4 glycosylation is required for its proper function.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 FAD-binding FR-type domain.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 ferric oxidoreductase domain.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
