Summary: Enables nitric-oxide synthase activity and scaffold protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including heart development; negative regulation of muscle hyperplasia; and smooth muscle hyperplasia. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on positive regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including lipopolysaccharide-mediated signaling pathway; nitric oxide biosynthetic process; and regulation of metal ion transport. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and nervous system. Used to study aortic valve disease; essential hypertension; persistent fetal circulation syndrome; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); leukemia (multiple); reproductive organ cancer (multiple); and vasculitis (multiple). Orthologous to human NOS3 (nitric oxide synthase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
