Entrez Gene summary for NOS2 Gene:

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. (provided by RefSeq,

Jul 2008)

GeneCards Summary for NOS2 Gene:

NOS2 (nitric oxide synthase 2, inducible) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with NOS2 include virilizing ovarian tumor, and borderline leprosy. GO annotations related to this gene include calmodulin binding and protein homodimerization activity. An important paralog of this gene is NOS3.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: NOS2_HUMAN, P35228

Function: Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is a messenger molecule with diverse functions throughout the body. In

macrophages, NO mediates tumoricidal and bactericidal actions. Also has nitrosylase activity and mediates

cysteine S-nitrosylation of cytoplasmic target proteins such COX2

summary for NOS2 Gene:

Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), along with neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and endothelial

nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), catalyze the generation of nitric oxide and L-citrulline from L-arginine and

molecular oxygen. It displays high affinity for Ca2+/calmodulin, thus appears to be constitutively active.

Tetrahydrobiopterin, flavin adenine dinucleotide, flavin mononucleotide and NADPH co-factors are required

for catalytic activity. iNOS gene expression is regulated by various pathways including NF-kappaB, IFN-gamma

(signaling through the JAK-STAT cascade) and HIF-1, which induce expression, and TGF-beta and interleukins

-4, -10 and -13, which inhibit expression. Post-translational regulation occurs by prevention of iNOS

homodimerization by NAP110. iNOS has roles in the innate immune system and displays antibacterial, antiviral

and antifungal activity. The human gene encoding iNOS is localized to chromosome 17q11.2-q12.
