Cardiac valve disease is a common cause of congenital heart failure. Cardiac valve development requires a complex regulation of assorted protease activities. Nevertheless, the regulation of these proteases during atrioventricular (AV) valve formation is poorly understood. Previously, PRSS23, a novel vascular protease, is shown to be highly expressed at the AV canal during murine heart development; however, its function remains unknown. In this study, we sought to characterize the functional role of PRSS23 during cardiac valve formation.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 December 2012.
All research outputs
#21,948,497
of 27,780,120 outputs
Outputs from Cardiovascular Research
#3,894
of 4,530 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#232,101
of 296,702 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cardiovascular Research
#18
of 31 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,780,120 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,530 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.2. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 296,702 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 31 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
