Adp-ribosyl cyclase and cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase act as a redox sensor. a primary role for cyclic ADP-ribose in hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.
Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction is unique to pulmonary arteries and serves to match lung perfusion to ventilation. However, in disease states this process can promote hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction is associated with increased NADH levels in pulmonary artery sm...
