The leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) receptor BLT2 is expressed in endothelium, but no clear physiological function for it has yet been identified, especially in vascular angiogenesis. The purpose of this study is to characterize the potential function of BLT2 in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced angiogenesis.
