Animal data on myosin phosphorylation remain hypothesis-generating; leaves open relevance to human smooth muscle disorders.
The study developed a method to measure different phosphorylated forms of myosin in smooth muscle, demonstrating that neural stimulation induces monophosphorylation and diphosphorylation consistent with a random phosphorylation process.
Persechini et al. (1986) studied this question.
