NCIt definition : Angiogenin (147 aa, 17 kDa) is encoded by the human ANG gene. This protein plays
a role in the modulation of both vascular development and transcription.;
NCIt note : Angiogenin is an exceedingly potent mediator of new blood vessel formation. Expressed
in many cells, angiogenin is a homologue of pancreatic ribonuclease. The ribonucleolytic
active site of Angiogenin is critical for angiogenic activity. (from OMIM 105850 and
NCI);
