The non-excitable smooth muscle: calcium signaling and phenotypic switching during vascular disease.

Pflugers Archiv : European journal of physiology - 1 Aug 2008

House Suzanne J, Potier Marie, Bisaillon Jonathan, Singer Harold A, Trebak Mohamed

Abstract excerpt

Calcium (Ca(2+)) is a highly versatile second messenger that controls vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) contraction, proliferation, and migration. By means of Ca(2+) permeable channels, Ca(2+) pumps and channels conducting other ions such as potassium and chloride, VSMC keep intracellular Ca(2+) levels under tight control. In healthy quiescent contractile VSMC, two important components of the Ca(2+) signaling...
