Molecular Cloning and Expression of an Avian Macrophage Nitric-oxide Synthase cDNA and the Analysis of the Genomic 5′-Flanking Region
1 May 1996
Abstract excerpt
We report the first nonmammalian inducible nitric-oxide synthase (NOS) cDNA obtained from chicken macrophages. It exhibits an open reading frame encoding 1,136 amino acid residues, predicting a protein of 129,648-Da molecular mass. The deduced NOS protein sequence showed 66.6%, 70.4%, 54.2%, and 48.7% sequence identity to mouse and human inducible NOS and to two constitutive NOSs from rat brain and bovine...
