endothelial tip cell fate specification

id: GO:0097102
name: endothelial tip cell fate specification
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: The process involved in the specification of identity of an endothelial tip cell. Once specification has taken place, a cell will be committed to differentiate down a specific pathway if left in its normal environment. An endothelial tip cell is a specialized endothelial cell localized to the leading edge of an angiogenic sprout that senses extracellular signals and guides the directed growth of blood vessels.
