NOS1AP Antibody – Goat Polyclonal

This gene encodes a cytosolic protein that binds to the signaling molecule, neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). This protein has a C-terminal PDZ-binding domain that mediates interactions with nNOS and an N-terminal phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain that binds to the small monomeric G protein, Dexras1. Studies of the related mouse and rat proteins have shown that this protein functions as an adapter protein linking nNOS to specific targets, such as Dexras1 and the synapsins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Function: Adapter protein involved in neuronal nitric-oxide (NO) synthesis regulation via its association with nNOS/NOS1. The complex formed with NOS1 and synapsins is necessary for specific NO and synapsin functions at a presynaptic level. Mediates an indirect interaction between NOS1 and RASD1 leading to enhance the ability of NOS1 to activate RASD1. Competes with DLG4 for interaction with NOS1, possibly affecting NOS1 activity by regulating the interaction between NOS1 and DLG4

By similarity.

Subunit structure: Interacts with the PDZ domain of NOS1 or the second PDZ domain of DLG4 through its C-terminus. Interacts with RASD1 and SYN1, SYN2 and SYN3 via its PID domain. Forms a ternary complex with NOS1 and RASD1. Forms a ternary complex with NOS1 and SYN1

By similarity. Ref.5

Polymorphism: Genetic variation in NOS1AP influences the electrocardiographic QT interval [

MIM:610141]. The QT interval is defined as the time from the beginning of the Q wave to the end of the T wave, representing the duration of ventricular electrical activity. The QT interval, a measure of cardiac repolarization, is a genetically influenced quantitative trait with considerable medical relevance: both high and low values are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Sequence similarities: Contains 1 PID domain.

Sequence caution: The sequence BAA32309.2 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
