basic FUNCTION
| having an indispensible role for embryonic lymphangiogenesis |
|
acting at the same stage of development as VEGFC and required for lymphangioblast budding and angiogenic sprouting from venous endothelium |
|
acting nonautonomously during embryonic lymphangiogenesis |
|
might be involved in guidance of the lymphatic vessel migrating cells |
|
is potentially essential but not sufficient for lymphangiogenesis |
|
plays an essential role in regulating the fetal liver erythropoietic environment |
|
is a crucial component of the VEGFC/FLT4 pathway in the embryo |
