Biopterin metabolism and eNOS expression during hypoxic pulmonary hypertension in mice.

Biopterin metabolism and eNOS expression during hypoxic pulmonary hypertension in mice.

Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), which fosters the formation of and stabilizes endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) as an active dimer, tightly regulates eNOS coupling / uncoupling. Moreover, studies conducted in genetically-modified models demonstrate that BH4 pulmonary deficiency is a key determinant in the p...
