Immunocytochemical localization of O2‐sensing protein (NADPH oxidase) in chemoreceptor cells
Abstract
A potential candidate for an oxygen-sensing protein in chemoreceptor cells is a heme-linked multicomponent NADPH oxidase, originally described in neutrophils. The postulated function for the oxidase in chemoreceptor cells is to signal changes in oxygen levels (either in the blood or in the airway lumen) via changes in oxygen metabolite production. An alteration in either superoxide (or dismuted hydrogen peroxide) production may affect the …
