Medical Definition of Nitric oxide synthase

1. An enzyme that catalyses the conversion of l-arginine, NADPH, and oxygen to citrulline, nitric oxide, and NADP+. The enzyme found in brain, but not that induced in lung or liver by endotoxin, requires calcium.There are two isoforms, one constitutive and one activated by calmodulin. Chemical name: L-Arginine,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (nitric-oxide-forming) Registry number: EC 1.14.13.39 Acronym: NOS (12 Dec 1998)
