Calcium-accumulating properties of subcellular fractions of bovine vascular smooth muscle.
This study examined the calcium transport properties of two subcellular fractions of bovine aorta obtained by differential centrifugation. The vesicular fraction had a high-affinity (Km = 1.05 X 10(-6)M) calcium transport mechanism which could be potentiated by using the calcium-precipitating anion, oxalate. The mitochondria-enriched fraction's calcium transport system had a lower affinity for ...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of smooth-muscle cholinesterase in subcellular fractions.
The differences in percentage inhibition by hexafluorenium bromide [hexamethylene1,6-bis-(9-fluorenyldimethylammonium) dibromide (Mylaxa, Nessler, Mallinckrodt, Germany)] and in polyacrylamide-gel disc-electrophoretic pattern of the hydrolytic activity of acetylthiocholine iodide of different fractions of rat jejunum have been reported by Das & Sayer (1 975). Scaf (1971) in his study on the eff...
متن کاملVascular Smooth Muscle Calcium Channels
Voltage-gated Ca 21 channels of the plasma membrane open in response to changes in cell membrane potential, providing an important pathway for regulated entry of extracellular Ca ions. Ca channels comprise a family of structurally related proteins displaying tissueand stage-specific expression. They are classified as either high voltage-activated (HVA) or low voltage-activated (LVA) and can be ...
متن کاملCalcium and vascular smooth muscle contraction.
Radioactive calcium flux in rabbit aorta was studied to evaluate factors regulating the movement of calcium into and out of the cell. Calcium content was estimated both from (1) the amount of Ca present in the tissue and the specific activity of Ca in the bathing medium, and (2) determination of chemical calcium by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Calcium efflux was followed by washing aort...
متن کاملCalcium Sparks Unleashed in Vascular Smooth Muscle
Hypertension is a progressive disease involving an increase in arterial constriction. It constitutes a major risk factor leading to stroke, heart disease, and kidney failure. Understanding the molecular pathways involved in arterial tone regulation is crucial to increasing our understanding of blood pressure regulation. Recently, a novel mechanism involving small-localized bursts of calcium ins...
