Structural Characterization of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Substituted With Mesoheme

Function

[NOS2_MOUSE] Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is a messenger molecule with diverse functions throughout the body. In macrophages, NO mediates tumoricidal and bactericidal actions. Also has nitrosylase activity and mediates cysteine S-nitrosylation of cytoplasmic target proteins such COX2.[1]

About this Structure

4js9 is a 2 chain structure. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
