Fine-tune regulation of carboxypeptidase N1 controls vascular patterning during zebrafish development

Abstract Vascular development is regulated by complicated signals and molecules in vertebrates. In this study, we characterized a novel function of carboxypeptidase N1 (Cpn1) in the vasculature. We show that cpn1 mRNA is expressed in developing vessels. The knockdown of cpn1 by morpholino injection...
