Protein attributes

Sequence length	162 AA.
Sequence status	Fragment.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is a messenger molecule with diverse functions throughout the body. INOS and NO may contribute to simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-induced central nervous system disease.
Catalytic activity	L-arginine + n NADPH + m O(2) = citrulline + nitric oxide + n NADP(+).
Cofactor	Heme group By similarity. Binds 1 FAD By similarity. Binds 1 FMN By similarity. Metrahydrobiopterin (BH4). May stabilize the dimeric form of the enzyme By similarity.
Enzyme regulation	Regulated by calcium/calmodulin By similarity.
Subunit structure	Homodimer. Binds SLC9A3R1 By similarity.
Induction	By lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the NOS family.
