Details for anatomical structure: blood vessel

EndoNet ID: ENC00207

To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be: 

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/hormone/ENH00000

It is also possible to use the search of EndoNet to link to the right detail page. The URL should look like 

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/search/ENC00000
If the search pattern is unambigious the user is directed to the corresponding detail page.

Synonyms

blood vessel, , Vas sanguineum

Secreted hormones

  • Hormone: fibronectin

  • Hormone: CTGF

  • Hormone: ECM1a

  • Hormone: EGF

  • Hormone: FGF-1 isoform 1

  • Hormone: elastase-2

  • Hormone: VCAM1 soluble form

  • Hormone: lysyl-bradykinin

  • Hormone: RANKL

  • Hormone: bradykinin

  • Hormone: IDL

    • Triglycerides in VLDL are removed in capillaries by lipoprotein lipase, afterwards VLDL returns to the circulation as IDL. [1]

Receptors

  • Receptor: NPY5-R

  • Receptor: calcitonin-receptor-like receptor

  • Receptor: thrombospondin receptor

  • Receptor: neuropilin 1

    Induced phenotype:

    • excess of capillary formation
      • Overexpression of neuropilin 1 results in embryonic lethality owing to an excess of capillary formation. [2]
    • patterning of blood vessels
      • Semaphorin3a is a chemorepellent with multiple guidance functions, including peripheral vascular patterning and branching morphogenesis. [3]

  • Receptor: basigin

    Induced phenotype:

    • regulation of angiogenesis
      • Basigning regulates angiogenesis by increasing protease production ass well as by upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-2alpha, VEGFR2, and the soluble forms of VEGF. [4]

  • Receptor: angiotensin II type 1 receptor
