Table 1. Summary of protein localization within endothelial signaling domains.

This table summarizes protein localization to one or multiple endothelial signaling compartments that have been described in the text. Although this review focuses on localization within the resistance artery endothelium, there are a limited number of studies that use this model system and for this reason, localization data from other model systems are included (1) to provide a more complete summary of the body of literature on endothelial protein localization, and (2) to highlight the need for more studies in small arteries. Since endothelial cells have unique physiological roles based on vessel type, it is crucial that localization studies be performed in the arteriole endothelium to determine if there are differences compared to large arteries or even veins.
