The neural crest gives rise to a variety of tissues, including peripheral neurons, Schwann cells, melanocytes and ectomesenchymal cells, which include the smooth-muscle cells of large arteries. Cell lines derived from neuroblastoma (a neuralcrest tumor) exhibit at least 2 distinct morphological cell

Caldesmon was originally purified from gizzard smooth muscle as a major calmodulin-binding protein which also interacts with actin filaments. It has an alternative binding ability to either calmodulin or actin filaments depending upon the concentration of Ca2+ ("flip-flop binding"). Two forms of cal

Hypertension has been linked to opening of the bloodbrain barrier and may be related to the expression of the smooth muscle a-actin gene in contractile cells at the brain microvasculature. However, the cellular origin (i.e., endothelial cells, pericytes, smooth muscle cells) of the a-actin mRNA in t
