ID NOS3_SHEEP Reviewed; 99 AA. AC P79209; DT 30-MAY-2000, integrated into UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot. DT 01-MAY-1997, sequence version 1. DT 10-JUN-2008, entry version 56. DE Nitric oxide synthase, endothelial (EC 1.14.13.39) (Endothelial NOS) DE (eNOS) (EC-NOS) (NOS type III) (NOSIII) (Constitutive NOS) (cNOS) DE (Fragment). GN Name=NOS3; Synonyms=ENOS; OS Ovis aries (Sheep). OC Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; OC Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Cetartiodactyla; Ruminantia; OC Pecora; Bovidae; Caprinae; Ovis. OX NCBI_TaxID=9940; RN [1] RP NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE [MRNA]. RC TISSUE=Endothelial cell; RA Aguan K., Weiner C.P.; RT "Effect of hypoxia on the microvasculature of developing fetal brain RT of sheep: a studies on the expression pattern of constitutive forms of RT nitric oxide synthase."; RL Submitted (OCT-1996) to the EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ databases. CC -!- FUNCTION: Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is implicated in CC vascular smooth muscle relaxation through a cGMP-mediated signal CC transduction pathway. No mediates vascular endothelial growth CC factor (VEGF)-induced angiogenesis in coronary vessels and CC promotes blood clotting through the activation of platelets (By CC similarity). CC -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: L-arginine + n NADPH + m O(2) = citrulline + CC nitric oxide + n NADP(+). CC -!- COFACTOR: Heme group (By similarity). CC -!- COFACTOR: Binds 1 FAD (By similarity). CC -!- COFACTOR: Binds 1 FMN (By similarity). CC -!- COFACTOR: Metrahydrobiopterin (BH4). May stabilize the dimeric CC form of the enzyme (By similarity). CC -!- ENZYME REGULATION: Stimulated by calcium/calmodulin. Inhibited by CC NOSIP and NOSTRIN (By similarity). CC -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer. Interacts with NOSIP and NOSTRIN (By CC similarity). CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane, caveola (By similarity). CC Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton (By similarity). Golgi apparatus (By CC similarity). Note=Specifically associates with actin cytoskeleton CC in the G2 phase of the cell cycle; which is favored by interaction CC with NOSIP and results in a reduced enzymatic activity (By CC similarity). CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NOS family.
