Attenuation of renal fibrosis after unilateral ureteral obstruction in mice lacking the N-type calcium channel.
The N-type Ca2+ channel (Cav2.2) is distributed in sympathetic nerves that innervate the tubules, the vessels, and the juxtaglomerular granular cells of the kidney. However, the role of N-type Ca2+ channels in renal disease remains unknown. To address this issue, Cav2.2 knockout mice were utilized....
