Nitric Oxide & Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase: A Glimpse on Biological Role
Abstract: Nitric oxide (NO) is a multifunctional molecule having numerous physiological and pathophysiological functions. It is synthesized from L-arginine by three different isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which are categorized into two subtypes; constitutive nitric oxide synthase (cNOS) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Constitutive nitric oxide synthase (cNOS) is constitutively expressed in the cells, while inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is expressed within several hours after the stimulation of …
