Target intelligence / Profile preview

Nitric oxide synthase 1 (NOS1)

Target
NOS1
Molecular classification
Enzyme, Nitric oxide synthase
01

Overview

Nitric oxide synthase 1 (NOS1) catalyzes the production of nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine and molecular oxygen. NO acts as a neurotransmitter, neuromodulator, and has roles in muscle tissue function and vascular regulation. Dysregulation is implicated in neurological disorders and cardiac dysfunctions.
