Gene information for NOS3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4846
Official gene symbolNOS3
Full namenitric oxide synthase 3 (endothelial cell)
Aliases,ECNOS,eNOS,
Gene summaryNitric oxide is a reactive free radical which acts as a biologic mediator in several processes, including neurotransmission and antimicrobial and antitumoral activities. Nitric oxide is synthesized from L-arginine by nitric oxide synthases. Variations in this gene are associated with susceptibility to coronary spasm. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
