Alternative definition : BIOCARTA: Glutamatergic-mediated nitric oxide (NO) production occurs via the N-methyl-D-aspartic
acid (NMDA) postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95)-neuronal nitric oxide synthase
(NOS1) ternary complex. The increased intracellular Ca2 stimulates the interaction
of nNOS and calmodulin (CaM) and the translocation of nNOS from the plasma membrane
to the cytoplasm. The dephosphorylation of nNOS by Calcineurin catalyzes the conversion
of arginine to citrulline and nitric oxide (NO), which turns on guanylate cyclase
and the various cGMP regulated signaling pathways. (This definition may be outdated
- see the DesignNote.);
