Essential Role of ATP Synthesized by Creatine Kinase in Contraction of -Toxin Permeabilized Preparations of Tonic Type Smooth Muscle

The role of ATP newly synthesized from ADP and phosphocreatine (PC) by creatine kinase (CK) in the contraction of tonic type smooth muscle, rat femoral artery was studied, since its necessity for phasic type smooth muscle was previously shown. In α-toxin-permeabilized preparations obtained from rat...
