Summary

PMID 20421951

[Homo sapiens] CYBB (NOX2) functions in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation to induce TNF-alpha-mediated host cell apoptosis and it function in sensing of persistent intracellular pathogens for subsequent induction of host cell apoptosis as a second line of defence.

PMID 19339495

[Homo sapiens] CYBB is an NADPH oxidases which plays a central role in microbial killing by phagocytes through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and CYBB-generated ROS are necessary for LC3 recruitment to phagosomes, coupling oxidative and non-oxidative killing activities of the CYBB NADPH oxidase in phagocytes through autophagy.

PMID 20532218

[Homo sapiens] CYBB and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are required for the host cell to trigger an efficient RIG-I-mediated IRF-3 activation and downstream antiviral IFNbeta and IFIT1 gene expression and CYBB is critical for the expression of the central mitochondria-associated adaptor MAVS.

Entrez Gene

Summary

This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000165168:
Cytochrome b (-245) is composed of cytochrome b alpha (CYBA) and beta (CYBB) chain. It has been proposed as a primary component of the microbicidal oxidase system of phagocytes. CYBB deficiency is one of five described biochemical defects associated with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). In this disorder, there is decreased activity of phagocyte NADPH oxidase; neutrophils are able to phagocytize bacteria but cannot kill them in the phagocytic vacuoles. The cause of the killing defect is an inability to increase the cell's respiration and consequent failure to deliver activated oxygen into the phagocytic vacuole. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
