Which effector acts downstream of nitric oxide (i.e. which protein does nitric oxide activate?) and which second messenger is produced as a result?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Nitric oxide activates mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK).

The activation of MAPK results in the production of cyclic guanosine monophospahte (cGMP)
