Abstract excerpt
Endothelial cells form a critical component of the coronary vasculature, yet the factors regulating their development remain poorly defined. Here we reveal a novel role for the transmembrane protein CRIM1 in mediating cardiac endothelial cell development. In the absence of Crim1 in vivo, the coronary vasculature is malformed, the number of endothelial cells reduced, and the canonical BMP pathway dysregulated....
