Expression of Nitric Oxide-Transporting Aquaporin-1 Is Controlled by KLF2 and Marks Non-Activated Endothelium In Vivo.

The flow-responsive transcription factor Krüppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) maintains an anti-coagulant, anti-inflammatory endothelium with sufficient nitric oxide (NO)-bioavailability. In this study, we aimed to explore, both in vitro and in human vascular tissue, expression of the NO-transporting transm...
