NOS2, a heme-containing enzyme
that catalyzes the synthesis of NO and citrulline from l‐Arg, is
expressed by various cells of the immune system, and its activa-
tion is considered a hallmark of classically activated macrophages
(also known as M1 macrophages), a macrophage subset that pro-
duces proinflammatory cytokines and acts as the effector cell in
the killing of invading pathogens and tumor cells.
