Abstract excerpt
Shear stress stimulates NO production involving the Ca2+-independent mechanisms in endothelial cells. We have shown that exposure of bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) to shear stress stimulates phosphorylation of eNOS at S635 and S1179 by the protein kinase A- (PKA-) dependent mechanisms. We examined whether phosphorylation of S635 of eNOS induced by PKA stimulates NO production in a calcium-independent...
