ABSTRACT
Erectile dysfunction (ED) has been plaguing men for a long time and the incidence of this disease is as high as 52% among males aged between 40 and 70. Recent discovery has shown a connection between the RhoA/Rho-kinase signaling system and ED. This paper reviews the progress in the study of RhoA/Rho-kinase signaling pathway, expounds its mechanism in penile erection and provides a base for further research on the role of RhoA/Rho-kinase signaling pathway in penile erection.
