Description

NAD(P)H oxidases belong to a superfamily of flavocytochromes enzymes that catalyze the production of superoxide (O2) by the one electron reduction of oxygen using NAD(P)H as the electron donor
2O2+NAD(P)H → 2.O2 + NAD(P)+ + H+


Ferric Reductase (FRE)



Ferric reduction oxidase/NADPH oxidase-like (FRO): FRO were identified based on their sequences similarity to the yeast ferric reductases (FRE), as well as to a subunit of the human NADPH oxidase (NOx, gp91phox). They allow the reduction of ferric iron to ferrous iron at the root surface.


NADPH oxidase (NOx/RBOH): In Human the complex include NOx (isoforms 1 to 5) and DuOx (Dual oxidase which contains Peroxidase and NOx domains).
