GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
NOS2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
HEP-NOS, iNOS, NOS, NOS2A
Description
Nitric oxide synthase 2, inducible (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
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]
