The role of caldesmon in the regulation of endothelial cytoskeleton and migration.

Journal of cellular physiology - 1 Jun 2005

Mirzapoiazova Tamara, Kolosova Irina A, Romer Lew, Garcia Joe G N, Verin Alexander D

Abstract excerpt

The actin- and myosin-binding protein, caldesmon (CaD) is an essential component of the cytoskeleton in smooth muscle and non-muscle cells and is involved in the regulation of cell contractility, division, and assembly of actin filaments. CaD is abundantly present in endothelial cells (EC); however, the contribution of CaD in endothelial cytoskeletal arrangement is unclear. To examine this contribution, we...
