Article Synopsis
- Angiogenesis is essential for processes like development and healing, relying on signals from vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) that activate endothelial cells to form new blood vessels.
- The heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) Tmem184a acts as a heparin receptor that may regulate interactions between VEGF and its receptor, Vegfr2, influencing angiogenesis.
- Research in zebrafish embryos shows that Tmem184a is crucial for forming intact intersegmental vessels (ISVs), as its knockdown leads to fewer vessels and indicates it works alongside Vegfr2b to ensure proper vascular organization.
