Neurothelin is a cell surface protein specific for chick endothelial cells forming the blood-brain barrier. Neurons of the adult brain do not express neurothelin. Neurons of the chick retina, which lack blood vessels and accessory astrocytes, express neurothelin. During chick brain development neurothelin is expressed probably in all neuroblasts but with proceeding cytodifferentiation, such as vascularization and gliogenesis, brain neurons become neurothelin negative. Astrocytes have been shown to secrete a factor into the conditioned medium that induces the expression of neurothelin in endothelial cells of chorioallantoic vessels
