ID:NCF4_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Neutrophil cytosol factor 4; Short=NCF-4; AltName: Full=Neutrophil NADPH oxidase factor 4; AltName: Full=SH3 and PX domain-containing protein 4; AltName: Full=p40-phox; Short=p40phox; FUNCTION: Component of the NADPH-oxidase, a multicomponent enzyme system responsible for the oxidative burst in which electrons are transported from NADPH to molecular oxygen, generating reactive oxidant intermediates. It may be important for the assembly and/or activation of the NADPH-oxidase complex. SUBUNIT: p40-PHOX associates primarily with p67-PHOX to form a complex with p47-PHOX. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expression is restricted to hematopoietic cells. DOMAIN: The OPR/PB1 domain mediates the association with NCF2/p67- PHOX. DISEASE: Defects in NCF4 are the cause of chronic granulomatous disease autosomal recessive cytochrome-b-positive type 3 (CGD3) [MIM:613960]. CGD3 is 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. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 OPR domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 PX (phox homology) domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 SH3 domain.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

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.
