It is evident that smooth muscle contraction is regulated not only by the Ca2+/calmodulin/myosin light chain kinase system but also by modulation of Ca2+ sensitivity. Changes in free calmodulin concentrations, myosin light chain phosphorylation elicited by rho/rho-kinase, regulation of myosin phosphatase activity and thin filament-linked mechanisms are the possible mechanisms for regulation of Ca2+ sensitivity.
显而易见,平滑肌收缩不仅受Ca2+/钙调蛋白/肌球蛋白轻链激酶系统调节,还受Ca2+敏感性调节。游离钙调蛋白浓度的变化、rho/rho激酶引发的肌球蛋白轻链磷酸化、肌球蛋白磷酸酶活性的调节以及细肌丝相关机制是调节Ca2+敏感性的可能机制。
