GlossaryNitric Oxide Synthase

enzyme producing nitric oxide for blood vessel dilation and more

Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) is an enzyme responsible for producing nitric oxide, a molecule that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including blood vessel dilation, immune response, and neurotransmission. There are three main types of NOS: endothelial (eNOS), neuronal (nNOS), and inducible (iNOS), each serving different functions in the body.
