Nitric oxide is a reactive free radical which acts as a biologic mediator in several processes , including neurotransmission and antimicrobial and antitumoral activities. This gene encodes a nitric oxide synthase which is expressed in liver and is inducible by a combination of lipopolysaccharide and certain cytokines. Three related pseudogenes are located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq , Jul 2008] ,

Catalytic activity:L-arginine + n NADPH + n H (+) + m O (2) = citrulline + nitric oxide + n NADP (+) . ,cofactor:Binds 1 FAD. ,cofactor:Binds 1 FMN. ,cofactor:Heme group. ,cofactor:Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) . May stabilize the dimeric form of the enzyme. ,enzyme regulation:Regulated by calcium/calmodulin. Aspirin inhibits expression and function of this enzyme and effects may be exerted at the level of translational/post-translational modification and directly on the catalytic activity. ,Function:Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is a messenger molecule with diverse functions throughout the body. In macrophages , NO mediates tumoricidal and bactericidal actions. ,induction:By endotoxins and cytokines. ,online information:Nitric oxide synthase entry ,similarity:Belongs to the NOS family. ,similarity:Contains 1 FAD-binding FR-type domain. ,similarity:Contains 1 flavodoxin-like domain. ,subunit:Homodimer. Binds SLC9A3R1. ,tissue specificity:Expressed in the liver , retina , bone cells and airway epithelial cells of the lung. Not expressed in the platelets. ,

Cytoplasm , cytosol . Localizes as discrete foci scattered throughout the cytosol and in the presence of SPSB1 and SPSB4 , exhibits a more diffuse cytosolic localization. .
