Structure, Distribution, Regulation, and Function of Splice Variant Isoforms of Nitric Oxide Synthase Family in the Nervous System.
Current Protein & Peptide Science 2022 August 24
Nitric oxide (NO) is a small molecule, produced by nitric oxide synthase (NOS), with various physio-pathological functions in the body. There are three main NOS isoforms, including the endothelial (eNOS), inducible (iNOS), and neuronal NOS (nNOS), that existing in the peripheral organs and nervous systems of humans and rodents. Moreover, NOS includes other identified NOS isoforms, such as retinal Muller glial cells (mNOS), mitochondrial (mtNOS), penile (PnNOS), testis-specific (TnNOS), and invertebrate Drosophila NOS (dNOS) are the lesser-known types. It is proposed that the versatile functions of NOS isoforms depended on various NOS splice variant subtypes and their expression in the neural (e.g., brain, and spinal cord) and non-neuronal tissues (e.g., lung, kidney, liver and GI tract). Therefore, this review summarizes the NOS subtypes, splice variants, targeted splicing expression in the body, and their proposed physio-pathological functions. At last, alternative NOS subtypes and isoforms, which have previously received scant attention, will be addressed in this article.
