background:
NCF1, along with NCF2 and a membrane bound cytochrome b558, is required for activation of the latent NADPH oxidase necessary for superoxide production. Defects in NCF1 are the cause of autosomal cytochrome-b-positive chronic granulomatous disease type 1 (CGD).
Function:
NCF2, NCF1, and a membrane bound cytochrome b558 are required for activation of the latent NADPH oxidase (necessary for superoxide production).
Subunit:
Interacts with NOXA1. Interacts with ADAM15. Interacts with TRAF4. Interacts with FASLG.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylated by PRKCD; phosphorylation induces activation of NCF1 and NADPH oxidase activity.
DISEASE:
Granulomatous disease, chronic, cytochrome-b-positive 1, autosomal recessive (CGD1) [MIM:233700]: A disorder characterized by the inability of neutrophils and phagocytes to kill microbes that they have ingested. Patients suffer from life-threatening bacterial/fungal infections. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity:
Contains 1 PX (phox homology) domain.
Contains 2 SH3 domains.
