Bradykinin stimulates Ca2+ entry via nitrendipine-sensitive Ca2+ channels in cultured human fibroblasts

Agents Actions Suppl. 1992:38 ( Pt 2):1-8.

Abstract

Bradykinin stimulates Ca2+ entry in cultured human fibroblasts via nitrendipine-sensitive Ca2+ channels in cultured human fibroblasts. The Ca2+ entering via this pathway does not contribute directly to the elevation of cytosolic Ca2+, but rather appears to be specifically taken up into an internal Ca2+ pool.
