Description
Binds FAD, FMN, heme (iron protoporphyrin IX) and tetrahydrobiopterin. This eukaryotic enzyme, which is found in plants and animals, consists of oxygenase and reductase domains that are linked via a regulatory calmodulin-binding domain. Upon calcium-induced calmodulin binding, the reductase and oxygenase domains form a complex, allowing electrons to flow from NADPH via FAD and FMN to the active center. May produce superoxide under certain conditions. cf. EC 1.14.13.165, nitric-oxide synthase [NAD(P)H dependent].
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
nitric oxide synthetase; endothelium-derived relaxation factor-forming enzyme; endothelium-derived relaxing factor synthase; NO synthase; NADPH-diaphorase
Reaction
2 L-arginine + 3 NADPH + 3 H+ + 4 O2 = 2 L-citrulline + 2 nitric oxide + 3 NADP+ + 4 H2O (overall reaction); (1a) 2 L-arginine + 2 NADPH + 2 H+ + 2 O2 = 2 Nω-hydroxy-L-arginine + 2 NADP+ + 2 H2O; (1b) 2 Nω-hydroxy-L-arginine + NADPH + H+ + 2 O2 = 2 L-citrulline + 2 nitric oxide + NADP+ + 2 H2O
