Abstract：
:We have recently identified a new G protein-coupled receptor, msr/apj, whose transcripts are detected in the endothelium of the primary blood vessels and the newly forming heart (Mech. Dev. 1999;84:199). Its expression during formation of the embryonic vasculature incited us to investigate whether expression of the receptor also increased during the formation of retinal vessels, which occurs postnatally in the mouse. Interestingly, msr/apj transcripts are indeed associated with the forming vessels and trace the centrifugal extension of the superficial vasculature. We also show that expression of the endogenous ligand apelin is upregulated at the leading edge of vessel formation.
