Epac activation inhibits vascular KATP via Ca2+ in arterial myocytes; leaves open translation to human physiology or tone regulation.
Epac activation modulates vascular KATP channel activity via a Ca2+-dependent mechanism involving calcineurin, revealing a novel cAMP-dependent regulatory pathway in arterial smooth muscle.
Purves et al. (2009) studied this question.
