Anti-Nitric Oxide Synthase, Brain (251-270) antibody produced in rabbit，0.2ML，N7155-.2ML，Sigma

General description

Nitric Oxide Synthase, Brain (NOS1) is mapped to human chromosome 12q24.22. The NOS isoform found in neurons is a 150 kDa protein. It is also termed as brain NOS (bNOS). Human bNOS and endothelial NOS (eNOS) share 52% amino acid identity, and rat and human bNOS share 93% amino acid identity.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to nitric oxide synthase (NOS) of rat brain origin (bNOS, amino acids 251-270) conjugated to KLH. The immunogen sequence is highly conserved in human bNOS.

Application

Anti-Nitric Oxide Synthase, Brain (251-270) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:

• double immunolabelling,
• immunofluorescence
• western blotting

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nitric Oxide Synthase, Brain (bNOS) is present also in skeletal muscle, where it is complexed with dystrophin and is absent in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Neuronal and endothelial NOS are constitutively expressed and are dependent on Ca²⁺ calmodulin for nitric oxide (NO) production.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
