Abstract excerpt
Different mitochondrial nitric-oxide synthase (mtNOS) isoforms have been described in rat and mouse tissues, such as liver, thymus, skeletal muscle, and more recently, heart and brain. The modulation of these variants by thyroid status, hypoxia, or gene deficiency opens a broad spectrum of mtNOS-dependent tissue-specific functions. In this study, a new NOS variant is described in rat brain with an M(r) of 144 kDa...
