303A cell-Autonomous role for endothelial GTP cyclohydrolase 1 and tetrahydrobiopterin in blood pressure regulation.
Nitric oxide (NO), produced by endothelial NO synthase (NOS) is a key regulator of vascular tone and blood pressure. Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an essential cofactor for endothelial NOS. When BH4 levels become limiting, eNOS produces superoxide anion rather than NO and in turn further reduces NO b...
