The Drosophila abrupt gene encodes a BTB-zinc finger regulatory protein that controls the specificity of neuromuscular connections.

abstract：:The Notch signaling pathway is essential for embryonic vascular development in vertebrates. Here we show that mouse embryos heterozygous for a targeted mutation in the gene encoding the DLL4 ligand exhibit haploinsufficient lethality because of defects in vascular remodeling. We also describe vascular defects in embry...
