Incidental mutations (data from APF )
 

Hetero- or homozygous null mutants show embryonic lethality with impaired angiogenesis and blood-island formation. Mutants selectively expressing isoform 120 or 188 exhibit vascular outgrowth/patterning defects or impaired arterial development, respectively.
