Abstract excerpt
Angiotensin II is an octapeptide that regulates diverse cellular responses including the actin cytoskeletal organization. In this study, stable cell lines overexpressing wild-type or catalytically inactive SHP-2 were employed to elucidate the signaling pathway utilized by the SHP-2 tyrosine phosphatase that mediates an angiotensin II-induced reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton in vascular smooth muscle cells...
