Nitric oxide synthase

Nitric oxide synthases ({EC number|1.14.13.39}) (NOSs) are a family of enzymes catalyzing the production of nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine. NO is an important cellular signaling molecule. It helps modulate vascular tone, insulin secretion, airway tone, and peristalsis, and is involved in angiogenesis and neural development. It may function as a...

nitric oxide synthase

<enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the conversion of l-arginine, NADPH, and oxygen to citrulline, nitric oxide, and NADP+. ... The enzyme found in brain, but not that induced in lung or liver by endotoxin, requires calcium.There are two isoforms, one constitutive and one activated by calmodulin. ...

nitric oxide synthase

(= NO synthase) Enzyme that produces the vasorelaxant nitric oxide (endothelium-derived relaxation factor) from L-arginine. There are two isoforms, one constitutive and calmodulin dependent, the other inducible (iNOS) and calcium independent.

nitric oxide synthase

(NO synthase, NOS) Type: Term Definitions: 1. an enzyme that catalyzes the reaction of l-arginine with 2O₂ and 1.5NADPH to form NO, l-citrulline, 1.5NADP+, and 2H₂O; there are an inducible and two constitutive forms of this enzyme: the constitutive forms play significant roles in regu...
