Schematic Diagram - Biotin Switch Assay Kit (S-Nitrosylation) (AB236207)
Derivitization of protein nitrosothiol (S-NO) with biotin.
Protein free thiols are derivatized with a blocking agent. S-Nitrosothiols are reduced to yield free thiol(s) which are covalently labeled with maleimide-biotin. Subsequent detection by avidin-coupled reagents can be used to localize the biotinylated protein(s).
Product details
Biotin Switch Assay Kit (S-Nitrosylation) (ab236207) uses a modification of the Jaffrey et al. 'Biotin-switch' method to measure S-Nitrosylated (S-NO) proteins in whole cells or tissues by fluorescent microscopy, or in cell and tissue lysates by western blotting.
Biotin switch assay method
- firstly free SH groups are blocked (adding 125.1 amu per residue)
- then any S-NO bonds present as nitrosylated cysteines in the sample are cleaved
- the newly formed SH groups are then biotinylated (adding 523.6 amu per residue)
- the degree of biotinylation is then detected using either FITC-conjugated streptavidin for fluorometric detection, or HRP-conjugated streptavidin for colorimetric detection, and either western blotting or microscopy
Other Notes
Nitric oxide (NO) is produced by three distinct isoforms of nitric oxide synthase and functions as a key signaling molecule in physiology and pathophysiology. NO transduces its effects by reacting either directly with heme and non-heme centers of proteins or indirectly via further oxidation to various reactive nitrogen species (RNS).

Biological function summary
Nitric oxide mediates vasodilation neurotransmission and immune response modulation. It is important for maintaining vascular homeostasis where it relaxes smooth muscle tissue promoting blood flow. In the central nervous system nitric oxide acts as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator influencing synaptic plasticity. Within the immune system it functions to regulate leukocyte adhesion and can mediate microbial destruction. Nitric oxide often works within complexes associating with proteins like guanylate cyclase enhancing its signaling efficacy through nitrosylation.
Pathways
Nitric oxide integrates into key biological processes such as the nitric oxide signaling pathway and the endothelial nitric oxide pathway. It activates soluble guanylate cyclase increasing cyclic GMP levels leading to smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilation. In the endothelial pathway nitric oxide links with other proteins like endothelium-derived relaxing factor and interacts with oxidative stress pathways showing its role in cellular defense mechanisms. These pathways manage critical physiological responses and connect nitric oxide to other cardiovascular regulators.
