Caldesmon is a negative regulator of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration, and podosome/invadopodia formation, all of which are critical mechanisms underlying proliferative vascular diseases. Multiple caldesmon kinases phosphorylate caldesmon at multiple residues at the amino and carboxyl termini, thereby, attenuating the inhibitory function of caldesmon.
