NADPH oxidase 5 (NOX5)

Calcium-dependent NADPH oxidase that generates superoxide. Also functions as a calcium-dependent proton channel and might regulate redox-dependent procedures in lymphocytes and spermatozoa.

May play a role in cell growth and apoptosis. Isoform v2 and isoform v5 are involved in endothelial production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), proliferation and angiogenesis and contribute to endothelial response to thrombin.
