Fig. 1From: Proangiogenic effects of soluble α-Klotho on systemic sclerosis dermal microvascular endothelial cellsSchematic representation of the molecular complex formed by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-bound VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2), transient receptor potential canonical-1 (TRPC-1) and soluble α-Klotho (sKl) on the surface of endothelial cells (ECs). This molecular complex regulates the influx of Ca2+ and the permeability of the plasma membrane contributing to the maintenance of EC integrityBack to article page
