PDGFRα (+) cells in spontaneously active urogenital tissues display heterogeneity in terms of their SK3 expression and P2Y1-induced Ca2+ responses. Muscular PDGFRα (+) cells in the renal pelvis and mucosal PDGFRα (+) cells in the seminal vesicle may generate depolarizing signals to drive smooth muscle cells.
