Facts about Nitric oxide synthase, inducible.
Also has nitrosylase activity and mediates cysteine S-nitrosylation of cytoplasmic target proteins such PTGS2/COX2 (By similarity). Included in this iNOS-S100A8/9 transnitrosylase complex involved in the selective inflammatory stimulus-dependent S-nitrosylation of GAPDH on'Cys-247' implicated in regulation of the GAIT complicated activity and likely multiple objectives such as ANXA5, EZR, MSN and VIM (PubMed:25417112).

Expressed in the liver, retina, bone cells and airway epithelial cells of the lung. Not expressed in the platelets.
Cytoplasm, cytosol. Localizes as discrete foci scattered throughout the cytosol and in the presence of SPSB1 and SPSB4, exhibits a more diffuse cytosolic localization.
