Application

S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) has been used:as a standard in reversed phase chromatography coupled to chemical vapour generation and atomic fluorescence detector (RPC-CVGAFS) and reversed phase chromatography fluorimetric (RPC-FD).as a standard in spectrophotometric and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) inhibits the activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum-bound creatine kinase in rabbit skeletal muscle and eventually reduces ATP driven Ca²⁺ uptake in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. GSNO in airway cells relaxes airway smooth muscle and enhances airway ciliary motility. It also blocks airway epithelial amiloride-sensitive sodium transport while stimulating calcium-dependent epithelial chloride transport and induces neutrophilic apoptosis. In addition, it also has antimicrobial activity. GSNO concentration is low in cystic fibrosis (CF) airway. It is an NO donor, acts as a smooth muscle relaxant, vasodilator and inhibits platelet activation in vivo.

General description

S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) is an endogenous nitrogen oxide and is highly distributed in extracellular fluids of the lung and brain.
