Vanadate Activates Rho A Translocation in Association With Contracting Effects in Ileal Longitudinal Smooth Muscle of Guinea Pig

We characterized the effects of vanadate, an inhibitor of tyrosine phosphatase, on the tension, the level of myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation, and Rho A activation in intact ileal longitudinal smooth muscle of the guinea pig to study the role of tyrosine phosphorylation in contraction signal...
