## Background: Endothelin (et) is an endothelium-derived multifunctional peptide that produces a potent, long-lasting vasoconstriction. nitric oxide (no), besides being the most important endothelium-derived relaxant factor in blood vessels, is supposed to be involved in regulating the interactions
The chick skeletal muscle nitric oxide synthase (NOS) gene was cloned in order to further deยฎne the involvement of NOS in the dierentiation of skeletal muscle cells. The respective cDNA had an open reading frame of 1136 amino acid residues, predicting a protein of 129,709.85 Da, and recognition site
