Abstract excerpt
Prox1 plays pivotal roles during embryonic lymphatic development and maintenance of adult lymphatic systems by modulating the expression of various lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) markers, such as vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3). However, the molecular mechanisms by which Prox1 transactivates its target genes remain largely unknown. Here, we identified Ets-2 as a candidate molecule that...
