| UniProt functional annotation for P29474 | |||
| UniProt code: P29474. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| 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. | |
| Function: | [Isoform eNOS13C]: Lacks eNOS activity, dominant-negative form that may down-regulate eNOS activity by forming heterodimers with isoform 1. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=H(+) + 2 L-arginine + 3 NADPH + 4 O2 = 4 H2O + 2 L-citrulline + 3 NADP(+) + 2 nitric oxide; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:19897, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:16480, ChEBI:CHEBI:32682, ChEBI:CHEBI:57743, ChEBI:CHEBI:57783, ChEBI:CHEBI:58349; EC=1.14.13.39; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=heme; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:30413; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=FAD; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:57692; Note=Binds 1 FAD.; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=FMN; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:58210; Note=Binds 1 FMN.; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=(6R)-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:59560; Note=Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). May stabilize the dimeric form of the enzyme.; | |
| Activity regulation: | Stimulated by calcium/calmodulin. Inhibited by NOSIP and NOSTRIN. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11149895, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12446846}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. Interacts with NOSIP and NOSTRIN. Interacts with HSP90AB1 (PubMed:23585225). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11149895, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12446846, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23585225}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane. Membrane, caveola. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Golgi apparatus. Note=Specifically associates with actin cytoskeleton in the G2 phase of the cell cycle; which is favored by interaction with NOSIP and results in a reduced enzymatic activity. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Platelets, placenta, liver and kidney. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7515611}. | |
| Ptm: | 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. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16126727, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20213743}. | |
| Disease: | Note=Variation Asp-298 in NOS3 may be associated with susceptibility to coronary spasm. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11740345, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9737779}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | [Isoform eNOS13C]: Lacks eNOS activity. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the NOS family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
