| Research Abstract |
Necl-5, an immunoglobulin-like molecule, and afadin, an actin-binding protein, regulated tube formation, migration, proliferation and survival of vascular endothelial cells by controlling VEGF-induced activation of the Rap1-Akt signaling. Angiogenesis following femoral artery excision was reduced in Necl-5-knockout and endothelium-specific afadin-knockout mice. Our study revealed that Necl-5 and afadin in endothelial cells regulate angiogenesis.
