Angiotensin II Facilitates Matrix Metalloproteinase-9-Mediated Myosin Light Chain Kinase Degradation in Pressure Overload-Induced Cardiac Hypertrophy

Angiotensin II Facilitates Matrix Metalloproteinase-9-Mediated Myosin Light Chain Kinase Degradation in Pressure Overload-Induced Cardiac Hypertrophy

Background/Aims: Angiotensin II (Ang II) has been shown to promote cardiac remodeling during the process of hypertrophy. Myosin light chain kinase (MLCK), a specific kinase for the phosphorylation of myosin light chain 2 (MLC2), plays an important role in regulating cardiac muscle contraction and hy...
