Specificity
This antibody does not detect human inducible NOS or rat brain nNOS. ab5589 has been successfully used in Western blot and immunohistochemistry (paraffin and frozen) procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects an ~140 kDa protein representing eNOS from human endothelial cells. Immunohistochemical staining of eNOS in Human vascular endothelial cells with ab5589 results in prominent staining of the epithelial cells. -

Target
-
Function
Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is implicated in vascular smooth muscle relaxation through a cGMP-mediated signal transduction pathway. 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. -
Tissue specificity
Platelets, placenta, liver and kidney. -
Involvement in disease
Variation in NOS3 seem to be associated with susceptibility to coronary spasm. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the NOS family.
Contains 1 FAD-binding FR-type domain.
Contains 1 flavodoxin-like domain. -
Post-translational
modificationsPhosphorylation 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. -
Cellular localization
Cell membrane. Membrane, caveola. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Golgi apparatus. Specifically associates with actin cytoskeleton in the G2 phase of the cell cycle and which is favored by interaction with NOSIP and results in a reduced enzymatic activity. - Information by UniProt

IHC image of eNOS staining in human placenta formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section*, performed on a Leica Bond™ system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab5589, 1/100, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

The specificity of aab5589 was demonstrated using naturally occurring variable expression to confirm specificity. Immunohistochemistry analysis of human tissue sections using this antibody showed eNOS is strongly stained in human spleen tissue and no staining in human tonsil tissue which does not express eNOS.
