iNOS (Tyr-1055) [conserved site], Phosphospecific Antibody |
WB, ICC |
The antibody detects a 130 kDa* protein corresponding to induced NOS on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of mouse macrophages treated with LPS followed by pervanadate. The antibody also detects a 150 kDa doublet that corresponds with higher molecular weight forms of NOS, which are also observed using other anti-iNOS antibodies. |

Phospho-iNOS (Tyr-1055) synthetic peptide (coupled to carrier protein) corresponds to amino acids surrounding Tyr-1055 in human iNOS. |

Nitric oxide synthases (NOS), the enzymes responsible for synthesis of NO, are homodimers whose monomers are themselves two fused enzymes: a cytochrome reductase and a cytochrome that requires three cosubstrates (L-arginine, NADPH, and oxygen) and five cofactors or prosthetic groups (FAD, FMN, calmodulin, tetrahydrobiopterin, and heme). Several distinct NOS isoforms are produced from three distinct genes, inducible NOS (iNOS, NOS-II), neuronal NOS (bNOS, NOS-I), and endothelial NOS (eNOS, ecNOS, NOS-III). The inducible form of NOS, iNOS, is Ca2+ independent and is expressed in a broad range of cell types in response to stimulation with cytokines and exposure to microbial products. Phosphorylation of iNOS may regulate its activity and stability. Src kinase-induced phosphorylation of Tyr-1055 in iNOS reduces proteasomal degradation of iNOS, leading to increased NO production. Thus, phosphorylation may be an additional control for regulating iNOS activity in response to inflammatory conditions. |
