Gene:
neutrophil cytosolic factor 2 (65kDa, chronic granulomatous disease, autosomal 2)
Gene ID:
199083
Symbol:
NCF2
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes neutrophil cytosolic factor 2, the 67-kilodalton cytosolic subunit of the multi-protein complex known as NADPH oxidase found in neutrophils. This oxidase produces a burst of superoxide which is delivered to the lumen of the neutrophil phagosome. Mutations in this gene, as well as in other NADPH oxidase subunits, can result in chronic granulomatous disease.
