Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in the regulation of cardiovascular function. In addition to the classic NO activation of the cGMP-dependent pathway, NO can also regulate cell function through protein S-nitrosylation, a redox dependent, thiol-based, reversible posttranslational protein modification that involves attachment of an NO moiety to a nucleophilic protein sulfhydryl group.

A better understanding of the mechanisms regulating protein S-nitrosylation will provide us new therapeutic insights and targets for intervention in cardiovascular disease. Badrilla offers a growing range of antibodies and detection kits to support your nitric oxide and S-nitrosylaltion research projects; further details for each of these products can be found below.
