Function
Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is a messenger molecule with diverse functions throughout the body. In the brain and peripheral nervous system, NO displays many properties of a neurotransmitter. Probably has nitrosylase activity and mediates cysteine S-nitrosylation of cytoplasmic target proteins such SRR. Isoform NNOS Mu may be an effector enzyme for the dystrophin complex.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Mouse Nitric oxide synthase, brain
Subcellular Location
Cell membrane sarcolemma Peripheral membrane protein Cell projection dendritic spine In skeletal muscle, it is localized beneath the sarcolemma of fast-twitch muscle fiber by associating with the dystrophin glycoprotein complex. In neurons, enriched in dendritic spines.
Homodimer. Forms a ternary complex with CAPON and SYN1. Interacts with ZDHHC23. Interacts with NOSIP; which may impair its synaptic location (By similarity). Interacts with DLG4; the interaction possibly being prevented by the association between NOS1 and CAPON. Interacts with HTR4. Forms a ternary complex with CAPON and RASD1. Interacts with VAC14 (By similarity). Interacts with SLC6A4.
