Altered mechanical properties in smooth muscle of mice with a mutated calponin locus.

Zoological science - 1 Feb 2002

Fujishige Ayako, Takahashi Katsuhito, Tsuchiya Teizo

Abstract excerpt

The mechanical properties of smooth muscles in aorta and vas deferens were studied in mice with a mutated basic calponin locus to learn the physiological function of calponin. The intact smooth muscles were stimulated with high KCl and the force development was compared between calponin deficient (knockout, KO) mice and wild type (WT) ones. The isometric force induced by various concentrations of high KCl was...
