Three different mechanisms will be described here: 1) phosphatidylinositol pathway, 2) Gs-protein-coupled pathway, and 3) nitric oxide-cGMP pathway The phosphatidylinositol pathway (shown to the right) in VSM is similar to that found in the heart. Norepinephrine (NE) acting via a1-adrenoceptors, angiotensin II (AII) acting via AII receptors, and endothelin-I (ET-1) acting through ETA receptors activate phospholipase C (PL-C) causing the formation of inositol triphosphate (IP3) from phosphatidylinositol (PIP2)." ; prov:wasQuotedFromsub:_6 . sub:_8rdfs:label "Selventa" . sub:assertionprov:hadPrimarySourcesub:_6 ; prov:wasDerivedFrombeldoc: , sub:_7 . }
