Function
Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is implicated in vascular smooth muscle relaxation through a cGMP-mediated signal transduction pathway (PubMed:1378832). NO mediates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced angiogenesis in coronary vessels and promotes blood clotting through the activation of platelets. Isoform eNOS13C. Lacks eNOS activity, dominant-negative form that may down-regulate eNOS activity by forming heterodimers with isoform 1.

- Sequence similarities
Belongs to the NOS family.
- Post-translational modifications
Phosphorylation by AMPK at Ser-1177 in the presence of Ca(2+)-calmodulin (CaM) activates activity. In absence of Ca(2+)-calmodulin, AMPK also phosphorylates Thr-495, resulting in inhibition of activity (By similarity). Phosphorylation of Ser-114 by CDK5 reduces activity.

- Activity summary
ENOS also known as endothelial nitric oxide synthase is an enzyme important for the production of nitric oxide (NO) in blood vessels. This protein with a molecular weight of approximately 133 kDa is expressed mostly in endothelial cells. eNOS plays a mechanical role in synthesizing NO from L-arginine a process requiring cofactors such as NADPH and oxygen. The activity of eNOS can be investigated through techniques such as Western blot with specific assays like phospho-eNOS ELISA available to measure its phosphorylated forms indicating activated states of the enzyme.
- Biological function summary
ENOS contributes significantly to the regulation of vascular tone and blood flow by promoting vasodilation. It does not function alone; instead it forms complexes with other proteins to exert its full effect. eNOS activity influences the process of angiogenesis inflammation modulation and platelet aggregation. Through its ability to produce nitric oxide eNOS acts as a signaling molecule helping maintain vascular homeostasis.
- Pathways
ENOS is a critical player in the NO signaling pathway and interacts intricately with the PI3K/Akt pathway. Nitric oxide produced by eNOS has a role in signaling cascades that lead to vascular dilation and reduced blood pressure. The PI3K/Akt pathway regulates eNOS activity via phosphorylation enhancing NO production. Other proteins like caveolin-1 and calmodulin modulate eNOS impacting these pathways' outcomes.
- Associated diseases and disorders
ENOS is associated with cardiovascular conditions like atherosclerosis and hypertension. Dysfunction of eNOS can lead to reduced NO production impairing vasodilation and contributing to these diseases. In cardiovascular disorders eNOS interacts with proteins such as the angiotensin II type 1 receptor which can negatively impact its function exacerbating disease states. Investigating eNOS and its related proteins provides insight into potential therapeutic targets for improving cardiovascular health.
