Endothelial Expression of β1 Integrin Is Required for Embryonic Vascular Patterning and Postnatal Vascular Remodeling
6 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
The largest subgroup of integrins is that containing the beta1 subunit. beta1 integrins have been implicated in a wide array of biological processes ranging from adhesion to cell growth, organogenesis, and mechanotransduction. Global deletion of beta1 integrin expression results in embryonic death at ca. embryonic day 5 (E5), a developmental time point too early to determine the effects of this integrin on...
