Endothelial NOS (eNOS), also known as Nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) or constitutive NOS (cNOS), is a nitric oxide synthase, but also denotes the human gene encoding it.

It generates NO in blood vessels and is involved with regulating vascular function. A constitutive Ca2+ dependent NOS provides a basal release of NO. eNOS is associated with plasma membranes surrounding cells and the membranes of Golgi bodies within cells.

Some association between a polymorphism in the gene and late-onset Alzheimer's disease in Chinese have been reported.[1]

Interactions

Endothelial NOS has been shown to interact with Caveolin 1,[2] Heat shock protein 90kDa alpha (cytosolic), member A1[3][4][5] and GUCY1B3.[3]
