AKAP5 and Caveolin-1 organize opposing nanodomains that regulate smooth muscle contraction and blood pressure

TRPV4 ion channels in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are crucial regulators of blood pressure, and their functional effects are differentially shaped by their signaling partners. However, the mechanisms by which TRPV4 channels are compartmentalized into distinct signaling nanodomains with opposite impacts on blood pressure remain unclear. Here, we identify the scaffolding proteins that…
