NADPH oxidases (NOX) are a family of transmembrane proteins of which there are seven isoforms. NOX2 is found in the phagocytes. They are involved in the production of ROS which kills the pathogens. However, under pathological conditions, NOX becomes overexpressed, which can cause oxidative stress implicated in various disorders like Diabetic Retinopathy, Alzheimer?s disease, and Chronic Granulomatous Disease. NOX2 consists of various subunits which can be classified into membrane bound (cytochrome b558) and cytosolic subunits
