Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) plays a pivotal role in regulation of cellular functions, the evidence often relying on the effects of extracelluarly administered drugs such as ML-9. Here we report that this compound exerts non-specific inhibitory actions on the TRPC6 channel, a transient receptor potential (TRP) protein. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Macroscopic and single channel currents were...
