Nitric oxide synthase protein and mRNA are discretely localized in neuronal populations of the mammalian CNS together with NADPH diaphorase
Nitric oxide isafree radical that has been recently recognized as a neural messenger
molecule. Nitric oxide synthase has now been purified and molecularly cloned from brain.
Using specific antibodies and oligonucleotide probes, we have localized brain nitric oxide
synthase to discrete neuronal populations in the rat and primate brain. Nitric oxide synthase
is exclusively neuronal, and its localization is absolutely coincident with NADPH diaphorase
staining in both rat and primate.
