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)
