| Name |
nitric-oxide synthase;
nitric oxide synthetase;
endothelium-derived relaxation factor-forming enzyme;
endothelium-derived relaxing factor synthase;
NO synthase;
NADPH-diaphorase |
| Class |
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on paired donors, with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or
reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derived
from O2;
With NADH or NADPH as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of
oxygen into the other donor
 |
| Sysname |
L-arginine,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (nitric-oxide-forming) |
| Reaction(IUBMB) |
L-arginine + n NADPH + n H+ + m O2 = citrulline + nitric oxide + n
NADP+ [RN:R00557] |
| Reaction(KEGG) |
R00557;
(other) R00111 R00558
 |
| Substrate |
L-arginine [CPD:C00062];
NADPH [CPD:C00005];
H+ [CPD:C00080];
O2 [CPD:C00007] |
| Product |
citrulline [CPD:C00327];
nitric oxide [CPD:C00533];
NADP+ [CPD:C00006] |
| Cofactor |
Calcium [CPD:C00076] |
| Inhibitor |
Ngamma-Nitro-L-arginine [CPD:C03417];
Ngamma-Monomethyl-L-arginine [CPD:C03884];
Ngamma-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester [CPD:C04337] |
| Comment |
The enzyme in brain, but not that induced in lung or liver by
endotoxin, requires Ca2+. The stoichiometry is not clear, but may
involve a two-electron and a one-electron oxidation step. |
