Monocyte NADPH Oxidase diseases
Monocytes, a type of white blood cell, play a crucial role in the immune system by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) through NADPH oxidase to kill pathogens. Dysregulation of NADPH oxidase in monocytes can lead to various diseases and conditions.
Key Diseases Associated with Monocyte NADPH Oxidase
Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD):
Description: CGD is a genetic disorder where phagocytes, including monocytes, cannot produce ROS due to defective NADPH oxida
