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]

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.
