Biochemical studies have shown that wortmannin is an inhibitor of myosin light chain (MLC) kinase (Nakanishi et al. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267: 2157-2163). To investigate the role of MLC kinase in smooth muscle contractions, we examined the effects of wortmannin on isolated smooth muscles of the rat
