Shear stress-induced shedding of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 from saphenous vein endothelium.

abstract：:Recent studies have shown that p21-activated kinase 1 (Pak1) phosphorylates estrogen receptor-alpha (ER alpha) at Ser 305 and also promotes its transactivation function. Here, we sought to investigate whether substitution of serine 305 in ER with glutamic acid (ER alpha-S305E), which mimics the phosphorylation state, ...
