In the CNS, NO is an important messenger molecule, which is involved in various major functions in the brain. NOS has been classified into three isoforms which include nNOS (neuronal NOS), eNOS (endothelial NOS), and iNOS (inducible NOS).

We studied NOS1 gene and protein network analysis through in silico techniques as human nNOS sequence was fetched from GenBank, and its homologous sequences were retrieved through BLAST search.
