GTPase-Rac enhances depolarization-induced superoxide production by the macula densa during tubuloglomerular feedback

Superoxide (O(2)(−) ) enhances tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) by scavenging nitric oxide at the macula densa (MD). The primary source of O(2)(−) in the MD during TGF is NADPH oxidase, which is activated by membrane depolarization. While Rac, a small GTP-binding protein, has been shown to enhance NA...
