説明

<jats:sec><jats:label /><jats:p>Endothelial NOS (eNOS), and its product NO, are vital components of the control of vasomotor function and cardiovascular homeostasis. In the present review, we will take a deep dive into eNOS enzymology, function and mechanisms regulating endothelial NO. The mechanisms regulating eNOS and NO synthesis discussed here include alterations to transcriptional, post‐translational modifications and protein–protein regulations. Also, we will discuss the phenotypes associated with various eNOS mutants and the consequences of a disrupted eNOS/NO cascade, highlighting the importance of eNOS function and vascular homeostasis.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Linked Articles</jats:title><jats:p>This article is part of a themed section on Nitric Oxide 20 Years from the 1998 Nobel Prize.
