Alleles and phenotypes

All alleles(13) : Targeted(12) Gene trapped(1)
 

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