Popis: Vascular tubulogenesis is essential to cardiovascular development. Within initial vascular cords of endothelial cells (ECs), apical membranes are established and become cleared of cell-cell junctions, thereby allowing continuous central lumens to open. Rasip1 is required for apical junction clearance, as well as for regulation of Rho GTPase activity. However, it remains unknown how activities of different Rho GTPases are coordinated by Rasip1 to direct tubulogenesis.
