Assembling and activation of NADPH oxidase. Upon stimulation, p47phox is phosphorylated and translocated to the membrane. NADPH oxidase subunits are aggregated in the membrane to form a functional enzyme. The gp91phox with help of other subunits or factors uses NADPH as substrate to transfer two electrons to molecular oxygen on the opposite side of the membrane to produce O2•−.
