Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Transient receptor potential melastatin-2 (TRPM2) channel is a nonselective cation channel that mediates influx of Ca(2+) and Na(+) with relative permeability of PCa:PNa ≈0.6 in response to cellular oxidative stress. As angiogenesis and ischemic neovascularization are both significantly dependent on oxidant signaling, here we investigated the possible role of vascular endothelial growth factor...
