<n0:ComplexDefinition xmlns:n0="http://ncicb.nci.nih.gov/xml/owl/EVS/ComplexProperties.xsd#"><n0:def-definition>Encoded by human NOS2C Gene (NOS Family), calcium/calmodulin stimulated homodimeric Nitric Oxide Synthase 2C binds FAD and FMN cofactors, requires BH4 which may stabilize the dimer, and synthesizes reactive free radical nitric oxide messenger (from L-arginine). NO has antimicrobial and antitumoral activities in macrophages. NOS2C may bind SLC9A3R1. IL12 requires NOS2 to stimulate NK cell cytotoxicity and to activate STAT4 tyrosine-phosphorylation by TYK2 in innate immunity.
