Angiotensin II relaxes microvessels via the AT(2) receptor and Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK(Ca)) channels.
Angiotensin II (Ang II) is one of the most potent vasoconstrictor substances, yet paradoxically, Ang II may dilate certain vascular beds via an undefined mechanism. Ang II-induced vasoconstriction is mediated by the AT(1) receptor, whereas the relative expression and functional importance of the AT(2) receptor in regulating vascular resistance and blood pressure are unknown. We now report that ...

متن کاملCa(2+)-activated K+ channels in human leukemic T cells
Using the patch-clamp technique, we have identified two types of Ca(2+)-activated K+ (K(Ca)) channels in the human leukemic T cell line. Jurkat. Substances that elevate the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), such as ionomycin or the mitogenic lectin phytohemagglutinin (PHA), as well as whole-cell dialysis with pipette solutions containing elevated [Ca2+]i, activate a voltage-independen...
متن کاملRole of phospholamban in the modulation of arterial Ca(2+) sparks and Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels by cAMP.
Phospholamban (PLB) inhibits the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-ATPase, and this inhibition is relieved by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA)-mediated phosphorylation. The role of PLB in regulating Ca(2+) release through ryanodine-sensitive Ca(2+) release channels, measured as Ca(2+) sparks, was examined using smooth muscle cells of cerebral arteries from PLB-deficient ("knockout") mice (P...
