Protein immunoblot and histochemical analysis with antiserum to type I NO synthase suggest that the formation of NO in pancreatic B cells is catalyzed by an NADPH -(reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), Ca2 + / calmodulin - dependent type I NO synthase of about 150 kilodaltons.

They found that, as with calcium channels, increasing calcium concentrations caused calmodulin to bind within the resemblance element of sodium channels and prevent their opening, just as in calcium channels.
