Abstract excerpt
The p21-activated serine/threonine kinases (PAK) play an important role in a variety of cellular functions. However, their role in the smooth muscle response to thrombin, which is activated upon vascular injury and promotes vascular remodelling processes, is not resolved. Here we investigated the role of PAK in thrombin signalling and regulation of tissue factor (TF), the activator of the extrinsic coagulation...
