Nitric oxide (NO) is a ubiquitous signaling molecule important in cardiovascular disease, inflammation, cancer, neurodegeneration, pain, and other areas. Nitric oxide is generated from three nitric oxide isoforms, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), as well as through nitrite reduction. Signaling proceeds through canonical activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) and non-canonical posttranslational modifications including S-nitroso formation.
