Annotation rationales
Arterial endothelial cells line high-pressure vessels and are specified by arterial Notch–SOX–ephrin signaling and strong junctional organization.
Functional implications
They maintain arterial barrier and tone, sense pulsatile flow and coordinate vessel remodeling and downstream tissue perfusion.
