Anti-iNOS Antibody

Rabbit polyclonal antibody to iNOS

Western blot analysis of iNOS expression in Hela (A), A549 (B), MCF7 (C), mouse brain (D) whole cell lysates.
Immunohistochemical analysis of iNOS staining in human lung cancer formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). The section was then incubated with the antibody at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

Protein Information
Name	NOS2 (HGNC:7873)
Synonyms	NOS2A
Function	Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is a messenger molecule with diverse functions throughout the body (PubMed:7504305, PubMed:7531687, PubMed:7544004, PubMed:7682706). In macrophages, NO mediates tumoricidal and bactericidal actions. Also has nitrosylase activity and mediates cysteine S-nitrosylation of cytoplasmic target proteins such PTGS2/COX2 (By similarity). As component of the iNOS-S100A8/9 transnitrosylase complex involved in the selective inflammatory stimulus-dependent S-nitrosylation of GAPDH on 'Cys-247' implicated in regulation of the GAIT complex activity and probably multiple targets including ANXA5, EZR, MSN and VIM (PubMed:25417112). Involved in inflammation, enhances the synthesis of pro-inflammatory mediators such as IL6 and IL8 (PubMed:19688109).
Cellular Location	Cytoplasm, cytosol. Note=Localizes as discrete foci scattered throughout the cytosol and in the presence of SPSB1 and SPSB4, exhibits a more diffuse cytosolic localization.
Tissue Location	Expressed in the liver, retina, bone cells and airway epithelial cells of the lung. Not expressed in the platelets Expressed in chondrocytes (PubMed:7504305)
