Regulation of PKC Autophosphorylation by Calponin in Contractile Vascular Smooth Muscle Tissue

Protein kinase C (PKC) is a key enzyme involved in agonist-induced smooth muscle contraction. In some cases, regulatory phosphorylation of PKC is required for full activation of the enzyme. However, this issue has largely been ignored with respect to PKC-dependent regulation of contractile vascular...
