Annotation rationales
Endothelial cells form the inner lining of blood and lymphatic vessels and exhibit organ- and vessel-segment-specific transport and signaling programs.
Functional implications
They control vascular permeability, coagulation, leukocyte trafficking, angiogenesis and the exchange of oxygen, nutrients and metabolites with tissues.
