Abstract
Objective: Calcium channel blockers, such as dihydropyridines, are commonly used to inhibit enhanced activity of vascular Ca V 1.2 channels in hypertension. However, patients who are insensitive to such treatments develop calcium channel blocker-resistant hypertension. The function of Ca V 1.2 channel is diversified by alternative splicing, and the splicing factor PTBP (polypyrimidine tract-binding protein) 1 influences the utilization of...
