Abstract

Nitric oxide (NO) is a small molecule produced by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) with various physio-pathological functions in the body. There are three main NOS isoforms, including the endothelial (eNOS), inducible (iNOS), and neuronal NOS (nNOS), that exist in the peripheral organs and nervous systems of humans and rodents. Moreover, NOS includes other identified NOS isoforms, such as retinal Muller glial cells (mNOS), mitochondrial (mtNOS), penile (PnNOS), testis-specific (TnNOS), and invertebrate Drosophila NOS (dNOS), which are the lesser-known types. It is proposed that the versatile functions of NOS isoforms depend on various NOS splice variant subtypes and their expression in the neural (e.g., brain, and spinal cord) and non-neuronal tissues (e.g., lung, kidney, liver, and GI tract). Therefore, this review summarizes the NOS subtypes, splice variants, targeted splicing expression in the body, and their proposed physio-pathological functions. At last, alternative NOS subtypes and isoforms, which have previously received scant attention, will be addressed in this article.
Keywords: Nitric oxide synthase, endothelial NOS, neuronal NOS, inducible NOS, isoform subtype, nitric oxide.
