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]
Nitric oxide synthases (EC 1.14.13.39) (NOSs) are a family of enzymes catalyzing the production of nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine. NO is an important cellular signaling molecule. It helps modulate vascular tone , insulin secretion, airway tone, and peristalsis , and is involved in angiogenesis and neural development.
Nitric oxide synthases (EC 1.14.13.39) (NOSs) are a family of synthases that catalyze the production of nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine.NO is a chemical messenger with diverse functions throughout the body depending on its enzymatic source and tissue localization.
Different forms of this reductase catalyze the formation of nitric oxide or nitrous oxide. [2] [3] A version of this compound was originally called [Ferrocytochrome c-551:oxidoreductase]. It was initially considered an oxidase. It catalyzes the reduction of NO 2 − to NO. This tetraheme enzyme has two subunits, each containing a c-type and a d ...

Biological functions of nitric oxide are roles that nitric oxide plays within biology. Nitric oxide (nitrogen monoxide) is a molecule and chemical compound with chemical formula of N O . In mammals including humans, nitric oxide is a signaling molecule involved in several physiological and pathological processes. [ 1 ]
Nitric-oxide synthase (NAD(P)H-dependent) (EC 1.14.14.47, nitric oxide synthetase, NO synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name L-arginine,NAD(P)H:oxygen oxidoreductase (nitric-oxide-forming). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
EDRF is produced from L-arginine by an enzyme (endothelial nitric oxide synthase) that is dependent on calcium-calmodulin and NADPH - this occurs in the cardiac endothelium. [citation needed] EDRF then diffuses to the smooth muscle in vascular tissue (vessels may be large or small), here it enacts endogenous vasodilation. Moreover, it serves ...
