N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• most embryos survive to only E9.5-11.5

growth/size/body
• at E10.5, growth retardation is commonly observed
• however, E9.5 embryos are often normal in size

embryo
• at E9.5, yolk sac vasculature is less prominent than in wild-type embryos
• at E9.5 and E10.5, endothelial cells are present in the yolk sac but structures appear disorganized and fewer defined large vessels are observed
• at E10.5, growth retardation is commonly observed
• however, E9.5 embryos are often normal in size

cardiovascular system
• endothelial cells from E9.5 embryos exhibit less alignment in the direction of shear stress
• at E9.5, yolk sac vasculature is less prominent than in wild-type embryos
• at E9.5 and E10.5, endothelial cells are present in the yolk sac but structures appear disorganized and fewer defined large vessels are observed
• endothelial cells from E9.5 embryos exhibit less shear stress-evoked Ca2+ entry

homeostasis/metabolism
• at E9.5 and E10.5, embryos exhibit significantly less calpain activity than wild-type embryos

• at 6-8 weeks of age, cerebral arteries show a striking misorganization of CD31-positive endothelial cells with a directionless cobblestone-like appearance, unlike the linear appearance in the direction of flow observed wild-type controls
