Abstract excerpt
Previous studies indicate involvement of the multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cell migration. In the present study, molecular loss-of-function studies were used specifically to assess the role of the predominant CaMKII delta2 isoform on VSM cell migration using a scratch wound healing assay. Targeted CaMKII delta2 knockdown using siRNA or...
