Abstract:

As rate-limiting enzyme of regulating Nitric Oxide (NO) generation,endothelia nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) plays an important role to maintain the balance of NO,which is a vasodilatation factor.Life for a long time in high altitude hypoxic regions of Tibetan chicken,formed a unique mechanism of hypoxia adaptation.In this paper,the structure of eNOS gene,coding product features and functions were reviewed,meanwhile,eNOS gene of Tibetan chicken involved in genetic mechanism of hypoxia adaptation are discussed,in order to provide help for the researches of origin,evolution,breeding of poultry,etc.
