摘要 |
The regulatory peptides for constitutive nitric oxide synthase enzymes, and a peptide specific to inducible nitric oxide synthase, as well as derivatives of the peptides, homologous peptides, nucleic acids encoding the peptides, derivatives, and homologous peptides, and antibodies to the peptides, derivatives, and homologous peptides, are disclosed. The peptides, derivatives, homologous peptides, antibodies, and nucleic acids, as well as peptidomimetics, can be used in methods of modulating the activity of nitric oxide synthase enzymes, and also in methods of treating diseases or conditions modulated by production of nitric oxide by nitric oxide synthases. Assays for identifying agents which modulate the activity of the nitric oxide synthase enzymes are also described.
