| Sequence status | Complete. |
| 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. NO may serve as both a paracrine and autocrine signal for modulating osteoclast bone resorption. Also has nitrosylase activity and mediates cysteine S-nitrosylation of cytoplasmic target proteins such COX2 By similarity. |
| Catalytic activity | 2 L-arginine + 3 NADPH + 4 O2 = 2 L-citrulline + 2 nitric oxide + 3 NADP+ + 4 H2O. |
| Cofactor | Heme group By similarity. Binds 1 FAD By similarity. Binds 1 FMN By similarity. Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). May stabilize the dimeric form of the enzyme By similarity. |
| Enzyme regulation | Not stimulated by calcium/calmodulin. |
| Subunit structure | Homodimer By similarity. |
| Induction | By treatment with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) or cytokines, but not in osteoclasts where they are induced by calcium and PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate). |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the NOS family. Contains 1 FAD-binding FR-type domain. Contains 1 flavodoxin-like domain. |
