Gene: NOS2
Alternate names for this Gene: HEP-NOS|INOS|NOS|NOS2A
Gene Summary: Nitric oxide is a reactive free radical which acts as a biologic mediator in several processes, including neurotransmission and antimicrobial and antitumoral activities. This gene encodes a nitric oxide synthase which is expressed in liver and is inducible by a combination of lipopolysaccharide and certain cytokines. Three related pseudogenes are located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 17
Location in Chromosome : 17q11.2
Description of this Gene: nitric oxide synthase 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
