Western blot analysis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells stimulated with pervanadate (1 mM) for 30 min. (lanes 1, 3, & 5) then the blot was treated with alkaline phosphatase (lanes 2, 4, & 6). The blots were probed with anti-eNOS monoclonal antibody (NM2211; lanes 1 & 2), anti-eNOS (Tyr-657) phospho-specific antibody (NP4031; lanes 3 & 4), or anti-eNOS polyclonal antibody (NP2281; lanes 5 & 6).

Product Details
eNOS (Tyr-657)/nNOS (Tyr-895)
Nitric oxide (NO) has a broad range of biological activities and is implicated in signaling pathways in phylogenetically diverse species. Nitric oxide synthases (NOS), the enzymes responsible for synthesis of NO, are homodimers whose monomers are themselves two fused enzymes: a cytochrome reductase and a cytochrome that requires three cosubstrates (L-arginine, NADPH, and oxygen) and five cofactors or prosthetic groups (FAD, FMN, calmodulin, tetrahydrobiopterin, and heme). Several distinct NOS isoforms are produced from three distinct genes. The inducible form of NOS, iNOS (NOS-II), is Ca2+ independent and is expressed in a broad range of cell types, and two constitutive Ca2+/CaM-dependent forms of NOS: nNOS (bNOS, NOS-I) identified in neurons and eNOS (ecNOS, NOS-III) identified in endothelial cells. Regulation of eNOS activity occurs through phosphorylation at multiple sites. Phosphorylation of Ser-633 (mouse Ser-632) in the FMN binding domain increases eNOS activity and may be important for the maintenance of NO synthesis after initial activation by Ca2+ flux and Ser-1177 phosphorylation.

140
Phospho-eNOS (Tyr-657) synthetic peptide (coupled to carrier protein) corresponding to amino acids surrounding tyrosine 657 in human eNOS. This sequence is conserved in mouse (Tyr-656) and rat (Tyr-656) eNOS, and is identical to the conserved site in nNOS (Tyr-895). The site is also well conserved in iNOS (Tyr-631).

Unconjugated
The antibody detects a 140 kDa* band on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of human umbilical vein endothelial cells treated with pervanadate, and this reactivity is not observed after akaline phosphatase treatment.
