Cytotoxic activated macrophages were sonicated and centrifuged. The activity of nitric oxide (NO) synthase was present in the supernatant and independent of Ca2+. The pellets were washed three times and treated with buffer containing 0.1% Triton X-100 or buffer alone, followed by centrifugation. The supernatant containing Triton X-100 showed NO synthase activity that was dependent on Ca2+, whereas the supernatant without the detergent had little activity. These data suggest that there are two forms of NO synthase: cytosolic and membrane-bound enzymes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
