Differentiation of Smooth Muscle Cells in Human Blood Vessels as Defined by Smoothelin, a Novel Marker for the Contractile Phenotype

1 Apr 1997

Abstract excerpt

Smoothelin is a constituent of the cytoskeleton specific for smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in a broad range of species. It has been postulated that smoothelin represents a marker of highly differentiated, contractile SMCs. Here, we present data on the presence of smoothelin in the human vascular system that support this hypothesis. For this purpose, smoothelin distribution was studied (1) during vasculogenesis of...
