{"symbol":"NOS2","synonyms":["INOS","NOS2A","HEP-NOS"],"name":"nitric oxide synthase 2, inducible","description":"Nitric oxide is a reactive free radical which acts as a biologic mediator in several processes, including neurotransmission and antimicrobial and antitumoral activities. This gene encodes a nitric oxide synthase which is expressed in liver and is inducible by a combination of lipopolysaccharide and certain cytokines. Three related pseudogenes are located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17.
