Abstract
Renal function is highly dependent on endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO). Several renal disorders have been linked to impaired NO bioavailability. The enzyme that is responsible for the synthesis of NO within the renal endothelium is endothelial NO synthase (eNOS). eNOS-mediated NO generation is a highly regulated cellular event, which is induced by calcium-mobilizing agonists and fluid shear stress. eNOS activity is regulated at the transcriptional level but also by a variety of modifications, such as acylation and phosphorylation, by its cellular localization, and by protein-protein interactions. The present review focuses on the complex regulation of eNOS within the endothelial cell.Keywords
