Differing roles of mitochondrial nitric oxide synthase in cardiomyocytes and urothelial cells

A Kanai, M Epperly, L Pearce, L Birder… - American Journal …, 2004 - journals.physiology.org
The existence of mitochondrial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (mtNOS) has been controversial

Biochemistry of mitochondrial nitric-oxide synthase

SL Elfering, TM Sarkela, C Giulivi - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2002 - ASBMB
We reported that the generation of nitric oxide by mitochondria is catalyzed by a constitutive,
mitochondrial nitric-oxide synthase (mtNOS). Given that this production may establish the …
