Anti-iNOS

Monoclonal Anti-Nitric Oxide Synthase, Inducible (iNOS) (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the NOS-IN hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized BALB/c mouse. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is classified into three types based on molecular mass, subcellular location, and Ca2+ dependence. Type I NOS (150-160 kDa) is found in neurons. It is also called as NOS-1, neuronal NOS (nNOS), brain NOS (bNOS), cerebral NOS, constitutive NOS or Ca2+-regulated NOS (cNOS). Type II (130 kDa), best characterized in macrophages, also known as macrophage NOS (mNOS) or inducible NOS (iNOS). Type III (135 kDa) is found in endothelial cells. It is called as endothelial NOS (eNOS, or ecNOS). Type II NOS is Ca2+ -independent and is expressed in activated macrophages and some glial cells after stimulation. iNOS is also found in several other cell types including hepatocytes, chondrocytes, endothelial cells and fibroblasts.
