In today's world, NOS1AP is a topic that has gained great relevance and has captured the attention of a wide audience. Whether due to its impact on society, its relevance in the professional field or its influence on popular culture, NOS1AP has become a fundamental aspect in the current panorama. In this article, we will thoroughly explore all facets of NOS1AP, from its origin to its evolution today, offering a comprehensive perspective that allows us to understand its importance and scope in different contexts.
Nitric oxide synthase 1 adaptor protein (NOS1AP) also known as carboxyl-terminal PDZ ligand of neuronal nitric oxide synthase protein (CAPON) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NOS1APgene.[3][4][5]
This gene encodes a cytosolic protein that binds to the signaling molecule, neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). This protein has a C-terminalPDZ-binding domain that mediates interactions with nNOS and an N-terminalphosphotyrosine 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.[5] NOS1AP polymorphisms has been associated with the QT interval length.[6]
