Abstract
NO is now known to be an important messenger molecule in biology. It regulates a variety of functions within cells and tissues including vasodilation, neurotransmission and immunological process. This review will focus on the nitric oxide synthase gene family and recent progress on molecular genetic analysis of NOS1, NOS2 and NOS3 genes.

Keywords : Nitric oxide, NOS, gene family, genetic study.
