Role of ERK/MAPK in endothelin receptor signaling in human aortic smooth muscle cells
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent vasoactive peptide, which induces vasoconstriction and proliferation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) through activation of endothelin type A (ET<sub>A</sub>) and type B (ET<sub&g...
