Product details:
Mouse eNOS ELISA Kit (ab230938) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of eNOS protein in tissue extracts, mouse brain extract, mouse muscle extract, and cell culture extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse eNOS with 5.58 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

ENOS also known as endothelial nitric oxide synthase is an enzyme important for the production of nitric oxide (NO) in blood vessels. This protein with a molecular weight of approximately 133 kDa is expressed mostly in endothelial cells. eNOS plays a mechanical role in synthesizing NO from L-arginine a process requiring cofactors such as NADPH and oxygen. The activity of eNOS can be investigated through techniques such as Western blot with specific assays like phospho-eNOS ELISA available to measure its phosphorylated forms indicating activated states of the enzyme.
Biological function summary
ENOS contributes significantly to the regulation of vascular tone and blood flow by promoting vasodilation. It does not function alone; instead it forms complexes with other proteins to exert its full effect. eNOS activity influences the process of angiogenesis inflammation modulation and platelet aggregation. Through its ability to produce nitric oxide eNOS acts as a signaling molecule helping maintain vascular homeostasis.
Pathways
ENOS is a critical player in the NO signaling pathway and interacts intricately with the PI3K/Akt pathway. Nitric oxide produced by eNOS has a role in signaling cascades that lead to vascular dilation and reduced blood pressure. The PI3K/Akt pathway regulates eNOS activity via phosphorylation enhancing NO production. Other proteins like caveolin-1 and calmodulin modulate eNOS impacting these pathways' outcomes.
ENOS is associated with cardiovascular conditions like atherosclerosis and hypertension. Dysfunction of eNOS can lead to reduced NO production impairing vasodilation and contributing to these diseases. In cardiovascular disorders eNOS interacts with proteins such as the angiotensin II type 1 receptor which can negatively impact its function exacerbating disease states. Investigating eNOS and its related proteins provides insight into potential therapeutic targets for improving cardiovascular health.
