Sequence analysis of inducible nitric oxide synthase in rat kidney, lung, and uterus.
The nucleotide sequences of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) cDNA in rat kidney, lung, and uterus were determined. The amino acid sequences of iNOSs in various organs were highly homologous, and the important regions for the enzyme activity have been conserved.
