Background:

Angiogenesis is defined as the process of neovascularization and formation of new blood vessels from the established micro-circulation. Angiogenin (ANG or ANG I) is a non-glycosylated polypeptide, 123 amino acids in length, whose function is central to this process. ANG I shows a high degree of homology with known ribonucleases such as pancreatic ribonuclease A, and the capacity of ANG I to induce blood vessel growth is critically dependent on its ribonucleolytic activity. ANG I is thought to be involved in the development of solid tumors, and ANG I antagonists are capable of inhibiting tumor growth. By a poorly understood mechanism, ANG I is endocytosed by subconfluent endothelial cells and translocated to the nucleus where it accumulates in the nucleolus. The ANG I receptor has not yet been identified.
