Part of the pathway for myosin regulation is shown for myofibroblasts (left) and smooth muscle cells (right). CPI-17 found in smooth muscle cells is the regulator for the deactivation of MLC phosphatase, resulting in sustained myosin ATPase. In contrast, Rho kinase regulates MLC phosphatase activity within myofibroblasts.
