May link LIMK1-cofilin dysregulation to pulmonary hypertension pathogenesis; leaves open therapeutic relevance pending human validation.
The study identifies the first function of the BMPR-II tail domain, suggesting that deregulation of actin dynamics via LIMK1 may contribute to the etiology of primary pulmonary hypertension.
Foletta et al. (2003) studied this question.
