The Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factor HESR1 Regulates Endothelial Cell Tube Formation
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
Human endothelial cells can be induced to form capillary-like tubular networks in collagen gels. We have used this in vitro model and representational difference analysis to identify genes involved in the formation of new blood vessels. HESR1 (HEY-1/HRT-1/CHF-2/gridlock), a basic helix-loop-helix protein related to the hairy/enhancer of split/HES family, is absent in migrating and proliferating cultures of...
