Description:6R-5,6,7,8-terahydro-L-biopterin (6R-BH4) is an essential cofactor for endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS) that catalyzes production of the vasodilator and atheroprotective mediator NO.1,2 Biosynthesis of 6R-BH4 occurs in the endothelium, promoting NO synthesis by facilitating electron transfer from the reductase domain of NOS to arginine. 6R-BH4 also stabilizes the NOS dimer and exerts an allosteric effect, enhancing substrate binding.
