Abstract excerpt
Toward identifying the roles of protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR1) and other G protein-coupled receptors important for vascular development, we investigated the role of Galpha13 in endothelial cells in the mouse embryo. LacZ inserted into Galpha13 exon 1 was highly expressed in endothelial cells at midgestation. Endothelial-specific Galpha13 knockout embryos died at embryonic days 9.5-11.5 and resembled the...
