What is the Significance of VASP in Smooth Muscle Cells?
VASP is also important in smooth muscle cells, where it contributes to the regulation of muscle contractility and cell migration. By interacting with the actin cytoskeleton, VASP influences the contractile apparatus of smooth muscle cells, impacting vascular tone and blood pressure regulation. Additionally, VASP supports smooth muscle cell migration, a process crucial for vascular remodeling and repair.
