Annotation rationales
Venous endothelial cells line low-pressure return vessels and are distinguished from arterial endothelium by venous identity programs such as NR2F2.
Functional implications
They regulate venous barrier and tone and, especially in specialized venules, control leukocyte adhesion and entry into tissues.
