Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is a 135 kDa protein and is an isoform of NOS. eNOS expression is not limited to the endothelium of blood vessels, it is also expressed in the epithelium of several tissues, including the bronchial tree. It is also localized in neurons in the brain, especially the pyramidal cells of the hippocampus.
The gene encoding endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is localized on chromosome 7q35-36 and has 26 exons.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to nitric oxide synthase (NOS) of bovine endothelial origin (eNOS, amino acids 1185-1205 with an N-terminally added lysine) conjugated to KLH. The immunogen sequence is highly conserved in human eNOS.
Application
Anti-Nitric Oxide Synthase, Endothelial (1185-1205) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) has been studied as a modulator of vascular function and it is involved in the production of nitric oxide. Defects in the enzyme expression have been shown to be associated with coronary artery disease.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Glucose transport in skeletal muscle is stimulated by two distinct stimuli, insulin and exercise. The mechanism by which exercise stimulates glucose transport is not known, although it is distinct from the insulin-mediated pathway. Recently, it has been shown that AMP-activated

Bicuspid aortopathy occurs in approximately 50% of patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most prevalent congenital cardiac malformation. Although different molecular players and etiological factors (genetic and hemodynamic) have been suggested to be involved in aortopathy predisposition and progression

Investigate the role of NADPH oxidase on ethanol-induced hypertension and vascular oxidative stress. Male Wistar rats were treated with ethanol (20% v/v). Apocynin (10 mg/kg/day, i.p.) prevented ethanol-induced hypertension. The increased contractility of endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded aortic rings from ethanol-treated
