Abstract excerpt
Vascularization defects in genetic recombinant mice have defined critical roles for a number of specific receptor tyrosine kinases. Here we evaluated whether an endothelium-expressed receptor tyrosine phosphatase, CD148 (DEP-1/PTPeta), participates in developmental vascularization. A mutant allele, CD148(DeltaCyGFP), was constructed to eliminate CD148 phosphatase activity by in-frame replacement of cytoplasmic...
