Mice bred to express fusion proteins facilitate vascular analysis.

2003 NOV 10 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Mice bred to express fusion proteins facilitate vascular analysis.

"The activity of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is subject to complex transcriptional and post-translational regulation including the association with several proteins and variations in subcellular distribution. In the present study we describe a transgenic mouse model expressing eNOS fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP), which allows the study of localization and regulation of eNOS expression. We tested the functionality of eNOS in the eNOS-GFP mice," researchers in Netherlands reported.

"Expression of eNOS was restricted to the …
