Abstract excerpt
Proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) is a nonreceptor protein kinase regulated by intracellular Ca(2+), CaMK, and PKC and can be activated by different stress signals involved in heart failure. However, Pyk2 has not been investigated in the human heart, and the functional role of Pyk2 signaling at the whole heart level has not been elucidated. We hypothesize that Ca(2+)-dependent activation of Pyk2 is involved...
