Angiopoietins 1−4 (Ang1−4) represent an important family of growth factors, whose activities are mediated through the tyrosine kinase receptors, Tie1 and Tie2.The best characterized are angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang2).Ang1 is a potent angiogenic growth factor signaling through Tie2, whereas Ang2 was initially identified
ORM1-like 3 (ORMDL3) here has strong genetic linkage to childhood onset asthma.To determine whether ORMDL3 selective expression in airway smooth muscle (ASM) influences ASM function, we used Cre-loxP techniques to generate transgenic mice (hORMDL3Myh11eGFP-cre), which express human ORMDL3 selectively in smooth muscle cells.In vitro studies of ASM c
