MeSH definition : The first to be discovered member of the angiopoietin family. It may play a role in
increasing the sprouting and branching of BLOOD VESSELS. Angiopoietin-1 specifically
binds to and stimulates the TIE-2 RECEPTOR. Several isoforms of angiopoietin-1 occur
due to ALTERNATIVE SPLICING of its mRNA.;
MeSH synonym : angiopoietin 1;
MeSH annotation : see SCR for organism-specific terms;
