  2. Nitric oxide synthase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_oxide_synthase

    In mammals, the endothelial isoform is the primary signal generator in the control of vascular tone, insulin secretion, and airway tone, is involved in regulation of cardiac function and angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels).

  3. Endothelial NOS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endothelial_NOS

    Endothelial NOS (eNOS), also known as nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) or constitutive NOS (cNOS), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NOS3 gene located in the 7q35-7q36 region of chromosome 7. [5]

  4. Biological functions of nitric oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_functions_of...

    The neuronal enzyme (NOS-1) and the endothelial isoform (NOS-3) are calcium-dependent and produce low levels of this gas as a cell signaling molecule. The inducible isoform (NOS-2) is calcium-independent and produces large amounts of gas that can be cytotoxic.

  5. Vascular endothelial growth factor A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_endothelial...

    Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) is a dimeric glycoprotein that plays a significant role in neurons and is considered to be the main, dominant inducer of the growth of blood vessels. VEGFA is essential for adults during organ remodeling and diseases that involve blood vessels, for example, in wound healing, tumor angiogenesis ...

  6. Vascular endothelial growth factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_endothelial...

    Vascular endothelial growth factor-R3 has been detected in lymphatic endothelial cells in CL of many species, cattle, buffalo and primate. [23] In addition to binding to VEGFRs, VEGF binds to receptor complexes consisting of both neuropilins and VEGFRs. This receptor complex has increased VEGF signalling activity in endothelial cells (blood ...

  7. Vascular endothelial growth inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_endothelial...

    It can activate both the NF-κB and MAPK signalling pathways, and acts as an autocrine factor to induce apoptosis in endothelial cells. This cytokine is also found to inhibit endothelial cell proliferation, and thus may function as an angiogenesis inhibitor. An additional isoform encoded by an alternatively spliced transcript variant has been ...

  8. Angiogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiogenesis

    Endothelial cells have long been considered genetically more stable than cancer cells. This genomic stability confers an advantage to targeting endothelial cells using antiangiogenic therapy, compared to chemotherapy directed at cancer cells, which rapidly mutate and acquire drug resistance to treatment.

  9. VEGF receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VEGF_receptor

    VEGF receptors (VEGFRs) are receptors for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). [1] [2] There are three main subtypes of VEGFR, numbered 1, 2 and 3.Depending on alternative splicing, they may be membrane-bound (mbVEGFR) or soluble (sVEGFR).
