Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction matches perfusion to ventilation and optimizes systemic oxygenation. Alterations in Pot are sensed by a vascular redox O-2 sensor in the pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell, probably within the mitochondria. This creates a signal that modulates redox-sensitive K+ channels, thereby controlling membrane potential, Ca2+ entry, and tone.
