Implicates nonreceptor tyrosine kinases in G-protein-mediated vasoconstriction; leaves open relevance to human vascular disease.
Selected G-protein-linked contractile vascular agonists may act in part via the stimulation of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases in arterial preparations.
Laniyonu et al. (1994) studied this question. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (genistein and tyrphostin) was evaluated on Inhibition of contractile actions of vascular agonists. Genistein and tyrphostin selectively inhibited the contractile action of specific G-protein-linked vascular agonists in porcine and rat arterial preparations.
