Vascular Endothelium
The single-cell lining of every blood vessel. It sets vessel tone and is where plaque begins when lipids and pressure both move the wrong way.

6 connectionsVascular Endothelium expressed in
Erythropoietin Receptor
Where EPO tells the bone marrow to make red cells. Separating this from EPO's tissue-protective signalling is the entire design goal of ARA-290: repair without raising haematocrit.
Estrogen Receptor beta
The second estrogen receptor, common in brain, bone and vascular tissue. Part of why estradiol is needed for mood, libido and bone density rather than being purely a side effect to crush.
Formyl Peptide Receptor 2
The receptor that tells inflammation to stop and start clearing up, rather than blocking it from starting. Humanin and LL-37 both act here.
VEGF Receptor 2
The main receptor for new blood vessel growth. Healing peptides that speed up tendon and gut repair are described as acting here, because tissue cannot repair faster than it can be supplied.
VPAC Receptors
VIP's two receptors. They open airways, widen vessels, move the gut and damp cytokine output, which is why one peptide is studied for conditions as unrelated as pulmonary hypertension and inflammatory bowel disease.
