About Nos3

Primary_assembly 4: 10,793,834-10,814,166 reverse strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026977.1

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 114 orthologues, 5 paralogues and is associated with 177 phenotypes. Biased expression in Heart (RPKM 114.2), Spleen (RPKM 51.1) and 8 other tissues.

Summary

Enables several functions, including HSP90 protein binding activity; beta-catenin binding activity; and Calmodulin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to magnesium ion; cellular response to mechanical stimulus; and cellular response to organonitrogen compound. Located in several cellular components, including caveola; nucleolus; and sarcolemma. Used to study artery disease (multiple); irritable bowel syndrome; ischemia (multiple); liver disease (multiple); and retinal disease (multiple). Biomarker of several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); kidney failure (multiple); liver disease (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and overnutrition (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (multiple); artery disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); reproductive organ Cancer (multiple); and vasculitis (multiple). Orthologous to human NOS3 (nitric oxide synthase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
