iNOS est un gène codé par le symbole NOS2. Communément appelé aussi: Nitric oxide synthase, inducible; Hepatocyte NOS; HEP-NOS; Inducible NO synthase; Inducible NOS; NOS type II; Peptidyl-cysteine S-nitrosylase NOS2; NOS2; NOS2A. iNOS a une masse de 131.12kDa et une longueur d'acide aminé de 1153.
Nous proposons 8 iNOS kits ELISA pour la détection qualitative ou quantitative de iNOS à partir d'échantillons Humain, Souris, Rat, Porcin et Lapin.

Résumé UniProt
Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is a messenger molecule with diverse functions throughout the body (PubMed:7531687, PubMed:7544004). In macrophages, NO mediates tumoricidal and bactericidal actions. Also has nitrosylase activity and mediates cysteine S-nitrosylation of cytoplasmic target proteins such PTGS2/COX2 (By similarity). As component of the iNOS-S100A8/9 transnitrosylase complex involved in the selective inflammatory stimulus-dependent S-nitrosylation of GAPDH on 'Cys-247' implicated in regulation of the GAIT complex activity and probably multiple targets including ANXA5, EZR, MSN and VIM (PubMed:25417112). Involved in inflammation, enhances the synthesis of proinflammatory mediators such as IL6 and IL8 (PubMed:19688109).
Résumé Entrez
Nitric oxide is a reactive free radical which acts as a biologic mediator in several processes, including neurotransmission and antimicrobial and antitumoral activities. This gene encodes a nitric oxide synthase which is expressed in liver and is inducible by a combination of lipopolysaccharide and certain cytokines. Three related pseudogenes are located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17.
Spécificité tissulaire
Expressed in the liver, retina, bone cells and airway epithelial cells of the lung. Not expressed in the platelets.
Similitudes de séquence
Belongs to the NOS family.
Modification post-traductionnelle
Polyubiquitinated; mediated by SPSB1, SPSB2 and SPSB4, leading to proteasomal degradation.
Localisation cellulaire
Cytoplasm > Cytosol.
Localizes as discrete foci scattered throughout the cytosol and in the presence of SPSB1 and SPSB4, exhibits a more diffuse cytosolic localization.
