Abstract
⺠Endothelial cells express only talin1 and not the highly related talin2. ⺠Inactivation of the talin1 gene in the embryo results in a rapid onset angiogenesis defect. ⺠Tln1 null endothelial cells in vivo are unable to form lumen-containing vessels. ⺠Talin1 and integrin-mediated adhesion are required from the earliest stages of angiogenesis.
