Product details:
Human NOS1 ELISA Kit (ab233628) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of NOS1 protein in cell culture extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human NOS1 with 12.9 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.

NNOS also known as nitric oxide synthase 1 or NOS1 is a critical enzyme in the nervous system. It catalyzes the production of nitric oxide from L-arginine. This enzyme weighing approximately 160 kDa is expressed in neurons and you can find it in regions like the brain and spinal cord. Notably nNOS is part of the NOS family which also includes eNOS and iNOS but its primary function is in neuronal tissues.
Biological function summary
NNOS plays a significant role in neurotransmission and neurovascular regulation. As a part of protein complexes nNOS closely interacts with other signaling molecules to modulate neuronal communication. The production of nitric oxide by nNOS acts as a neurotransmitter influencing brain functions such as synaptic plasticity and memory formation. Additionally due to its role in neuronal activity antibodies like anti-neuronal antibodies can have interactions that can be studied using various assays including the NOS assay.
Pathways
NNOS serves essential roles within the neuronal nitric oxide signaling pathway and the glutamatergic signaling pathway. In these contexts nNOS associates with proteins involved in cell signaling such as calmodulin which regulates its activity. By participating in these pathways nNOS contributes to the regulation of vascular tone and synaptic transmission linking it to neurological processes and supporting neuronal communication.
NNOS shows significant connections to neurological disorders and cardiovascular diseases. In conditions like stroke and neurodegenerative diseases dysregulation of nNOS activity leads to excessive production of nitric oxide which can result in oxidative stress and neuronal damage. Furthermore its relation with eNOS in the cardiovascular system influences vascular function making it a critical player in hypertension studies. Understanding nNOS interactions through diseases highlights the possibility of targeted treatments using neuronal antibodies and anti-neuronal antibodies against specific pathways.
