Phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate-induced, protein kinase C-mediated contraction of rabbit bladder smooth muscle

Contraction of bladder smooth muscle is predominantly initiated by M3 muscarinic receptor-mediated activation of the Gq/11-phospholipase C β-protein kinase C (PKC) and the G12/13-RhoGEF-Rho kinase (ROCK) pathways. However, these pathways and their downstream effectors are not well understood in bla...
