Identification of Flk-1 target genes in vasculogenesis: Pim-1 is required for endothelial and mural cell differentiation in vitro
2 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
The tyrosine kinase receptor fetal liver kinase 1 (Flk-1) plays a crucial role in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, but its target genes remain elusive. Comparing Flk-1(+/+) with Flk-1(-/-) embryonic stem (ES) cells, we identified transcripts regulated by the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A)/Flk-1 pathway at an early stage of their differentiation to endothelial and mural precursors. Further analysis...
