Comments

FUNCTION: Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is implicated in vascular smooth muscle relaxation through a cGMP-mediated signal transduction pathway. No mediates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced angiogenesis in coronary vessels and promotes blood clotting through the activation of platelets (By similarity).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: L-arginine + n NADPH + m O₂ = citrulline + nitric oxide + n NADP⁺.
COFACTOR: Heme group (By similarity).
COFACTOR: Binds 1 FAD (By similarity).
COFACTOR: Binds 1 FMN (By similarity).
COFACTOR: Metrahydrobiopterin (BH4). May stabilize the dimeric form of the enzyme (By similarity).
ENZYME REGULATION: Stimulated by calcium/calmodulin. Inhibited by NOSIP and NOSTRIN (By similarity).
SUBUNIT: Homodimer. Interacts with NOSIP and NOSTRIN (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane, caveola (By similarity). Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton (By similarity). Golgi apparatus (By similarity). Note=Specifically associates with actin cytoskeleton in the G2 phase of the cell cycle; which is favored by interaction with NOSIP and results in a reduced enzymatic activity (By similarity).
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NOS family.
