The main NOXs in the cardiovascular system.
| Activity | Regulatory subunits/requirement for p22phox | Regulation by | Cell expression | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NOX1 | Inducible | NOXO1, NOXA1, Rac/yes | Post-translational modification of regulatory subunits | Vascular smooth muscle, endothelial cells |
| NOX2 | Inducible | P47phox, p67phox, p40phox, Rac/yes | Post-translational modification of regulatory subunits | Cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, vascular smooth muscle cells, inflammatory cells |
| NOX4 | Constitutively active | None/yes | Poldip2 and transcriptional regulation | Cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, vascular smooth muscle cells |
| NOX5 | Low constitutive activity | None/no | Ca2+ | Vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells (absent in rodents) |
