MeSH definition : An NADPH oxidase that is expressed by PHAGOCYTES where it transfers electrons across
the plasma membrane from cytosolic NADPH to molecular oxygen on the exterior. It regulates
proton (H ) flux into resting phagocytes to control intracellular pH. Mutations in
the CYBB gene are associated with X-LINKED CHRONIC GRANULOMATOUS DISEASE.;
