SVEP1 regulates GPCR-mediated vasoconstriction via integrin α9β1 and α4β1
2024-01-31
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> and purpose Vascular tone is regulated by the relative contractile state of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Several integrins directly modulate VSMC contraction by regulating calcium influx through L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs). Genetic variants in ITGA9, which encodes the α9 subunit of integrin α9β1, and SVEP1, a ligand for integrin α9β1, associate with elevated blood pres...
