Functional Family Nitric oxide synthase

Enzyme Information

1.14.13.39
Nitric-oxide synthase (NADPH).
based on mapping to UniProt P29476
2 L-arginine + 3 NADPH + 4 O(2) = 2 L-citrulline + 2 nitric oxide + 3 NADP(+) + 4 H(2)O.
-!- The enzyme consists of linked oxygenase and reductase domains. -!- The eukaryotic enzyme binds FAD, FMN, heme (iron protoporphyrin IX) and tetrahydrobiopterin, and its two domains 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. -!- The reductase domain of the enzyme from the bacterium Sorangium cellulosum utilizes a [2Fe-2S] cluster to transfer the electrons from NADPH to the active center. -!- Cf. EC 1.14.14.47.
