Zyxin Is Involved In Regulation Of Mechanotransduction In Arteriole Smooth Muscle Cells

Zyxin is a focal adhesion protein that has been implicated in the modulation of cell adhesion and motility, and is hypothesized to be a mechano-sensor in integrin-mediated responses to mechanical force. To test the functional role of zyxin in the mechanotransduction of microvascular smooth muscle ce...
