PRSS23 is essential for the Snail-dependent endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition during valvulogenesis in zebrafish
4 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Cardiac valve disease is a common cause of congenital heart failure. Cardiac valve development requires a complex regulation of assorted protease activities. Nevertheless, the regulation of these proteases during atrioventricular (AV) valve formation is poorly understood. Previously, PRSS23, a novel vascular protease, is shown to be highly expressed at the AV canal during murine heart development; however,...
