nNOS (neuronal) ist ein Gen, das durch das Symbol NOS1 kodiert wird. Im Allgemeinen auch bezeichnet als: Nitric oxide synthase, brain; Constitutive NOS; NC-NOS; NOS type I; Neuronal NOS; N-NOS; Peptidyl-cysteine S-nitrosylase NOS1; bNOS; NOS1. nNOS (neuronal) hat eine Masse von 160.97kDa und eine Aminosäurelänge von 1434.
Wir bieten 6 nNOS (neuronal) ELISA-Kits zum qualitativen oder quantitativen Nachweis von nNOS (neuronal) von Human, Maus und Ratte proben.
Gen- und Proteininformationen
UniProt Zusammenfassung
Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is a messenger molecule with diverse functions throughout the body. In the brain and peripheral nervous system, NO displays many properties of a neurotransmitter. Probably has nitrosylase activity and mediates cysteine S-nitrosylation of cytoplasmic target proteins such SRR.
Entrez Zusammenfassung
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of nitric oxide synthases, which synthesize nitric oxide from L-arginine. Nitric oxide is a reactive free radical, which acts as a biologic mediator in several processes, including neurotransmission, and antimicrobial and antitumoral activities. In the brain and peripheral nervous system, nitric oxide displays many properties of a neurotransmitter, and has been implicated in neurotoxicity associated with stroke and neurodegenerative diseases, neural regulation of smooth muscle, including peristalsis, and penile erection. This protein is ubiquitously expressed, with high level of expression in skeletal muscle. Multiple transcript variants that differ in the 5' UTR have been described for this gene but the full-length nature of these transcripts is not known. Additionally, alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms (some testis-specific) have been found for this gene.
Gewebespezifität
Isoform 1 is ubiquitously expressed: detected in skeletal muscle and brain, also in testis, lung and kidney, and at low levels in heart, adrenal gland and retina. Not detected in the platelets. Isoform 3 is expressed only in testis. Isoform 4 is detected in testis, skeletal muscle, lung, and kidney, at low levels in the brain, but not in the heart and adrenal gland.
Sequenzähnlichkeiten
Belongs to the NOS family.
Posttranslationale Modifikation
Ubiquitinated; mediated by STUB1/CHIP in the presence of Hsp70 and Hsp40 (in vitro).
Zellort
Cell membrane > Sarcolemma. Cell projection > Dendritic spine.
In skeletal muscle, it is localized beneath the sarcolemma of fast-twitch muscle fiber by associating with the dystrophin glycoprotein complex. In neurons, enriched in dendritic spines (By similarity).
