Neuronal nitric oxide synthase generates superoxide from the oxygenase domain.

The Biochemical journal - 15 Nov 2001

Yoneyama H, Yamamoto A, Kosaka H

Abstract excerpt

When l-arginine is depleted, neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) has been reported to generate superoxide. A flavoprotein module construct of nNOS has been demonstrated to be sufficient for superoxide production. In contrast, nNOS was reported not to be involved in superoxide formation, because...
