The gene encoding endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is localized on human chromosome 7q35-36 and has 26 exons.
eNOS encodes a 135 kDa protein and is localized in endothelial cells. Human bNOS and eNOS share 52% amino acid identity, and rat and human bNOS share 93% amino acid identity. eNOS is not restricted to the endothelium of blood vessels but exists in the epithelium of several tissues.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to nitric oxide synthase (NOS) of bovine endothelial origin (eNOS, amino acids 596-609) conjugated to KLH. The immunogen sequence is identical in human eNOS.
Application
Anti-Nitric Oxide Synthase, Endothelial (596-609) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is 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 coronary artery disease.
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is constitutively expressed and are dependent on Ca2+/ calmodulin for nitricoxide (NO) production.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
