Anti-eNOS/NOS3 Antibody

NOS3

NOS3(Nitric Oxide Synthase 3), also called ENOS, a nitric oxide synthase that generates NO in blood vessels and is involved with regulating vascular tone by inhibiting smooth muscle contraction andplatelet aggregation. The NOS3 gene is mapped on 7q36.1. Variations in this gene are associated with susceptibility to coronary spasm. Fulton et al.(1999) concluded the eNOS is an AKT substrate linking signal transduction by AKT to the release of the gaseous second messenger nitric oxide. AKT mediates the activation of eNOS, leading to increased nitric oxide production. Inhibition of the PI3K AKT pathway or mutation of the AKT site on eNOS protein at serine-1177 attenuated the serine phosphorylation and prevented the activation of eNOS. RT-PCR analysis showed that expression of NOS3 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) and human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells(HAOVSMCs) was inversely proportional to that of NOS3AS.
