Src-Caveolin-1-eNOS

Meaning

Src-Caveolin-1-eNOS represents a crucial, rapid, non-genomic signaling complex localized within the cell membrane of endothelial cells, mediating the immediate vascular effects of various hormones, particularly estrogen. This tripartite molecular association is essential for the rapid production of nitric oxide (NO), a potent vasodilator, which is critical for regulating vascular tone, blood flow, and overall cardiovascular health. The integrity of this complex is a key factor in endothelial function.
