NEXN protects against vascular calcification by promoting SERCA2 SUMOylation and stabilization
29 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
Vascular calcification, a key risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, is driven by the phenotypic transition of vascular smooth muscle cells from a contractile to an osteogenic phenotype. NEXN, a protein highly associated with heart function, has also been implicated as a potential susceptibility factor in the development of coronary artery disease, but its role in the progression of vascular calcification...
