Control of retinoid levels by CYP26B1 is important for lymphatic vascular development in the mouse embryo.

Abstract excerpt

During embryogenesis, lymphatic endothelial progenitor cells first arise from a subset of blood vascular endothelial cells in the dorsolateral aspects of the cardinal veins. The molecular cues responsible for defining the regionalisation of such a discrete pool of progenitors remain uncharacterised. Here we identify a novel function for CYP26B1, an enzyme known to play a role in tissue morphogenesis by...
