Catalytic Activity
H(+) + 2 L-arginine + 3 NADPH + 4 O2 = 4 H2O + 2 L-citrulline + 3 NADP(+) + 2 nitric oxide
Localization
Cell membrane,Membrane,Caveola,Cytoplasm,Cytoskeleton,Golgi apparatus;
Function
Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is implicated in vascular smooth muscle relaxation through a cGMP-mediated signal transduction pathway. NO mediates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced angiogenesis in coronary vessels and promotes blood clotting through the activation of platelets.
