Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Phospholipase C-δ1 activity is enhanced in patients with coronary artery spasm, and a p122 protein was recently cloned to potentiate phospholipase C-δ1 activity. To investigate the role of p122 in enhanced vasomotility, we examined p122 expression in the cultured skin fibroblasts obtained from patients with and without coronary spasm, intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) [corrected] at...
