MURC deficiency in smooth muscle attenuates pulmonary hypertension

MURC protein regulates the function of caveolae, the small invaginations of the plasma membrane in muscle cells. Here the authors show that by interacting with caveolin proteins, MURC affects RhoA/ROCK signalling and regulates proliferation and migration of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells, sugg...
