Angiogenin (ANG) also known as ribonuclease 5 is a small 123 amino acid protein that in humans is encoded by the ANG gene. [5] Angiogenin is a potent stimulator of new blood vessels through the process of angiogenesis.

Angiogenin (ANG) is a secretory ribonuclease that promotes the proliferation of endothelial cells, leading to angiogenesis. This function relies on its ribonucleolytic activity, which is low for simple RNA substrates.

Angiogenin (ANG) is a secreted ribonuclease best known for its ability to promote formation of blood vessels. Extensive research over many years has elucidated its structure and biophysical properties, although our knowledge of molecular mechanisms ...

As a member of the vertebrate-specific secreted ribonucleases, angiogenin (ANG) was first isolated and identified solely by its ability to induce new blood vessel formation, and now, it has been recognized to play important roles in various ...

Angiogenin is a normal constituent of the circulation and contained in a vasculature that rarely undergoes proliferation, but in some physiological and pathological conditions its levels increase in blood, promoting neovascularization.

May 8, 2024 · Our study reveals that the cytosolic ribosome is the activator of angiogenin. A cryo-EM structure features angiogenin bound in the A site of the 80S ribosome.

Sep 1, 2006 · The aim of this review article is to provide an overview of the biochemistry and physiology of angiogenin, specifically in relation to the human pathological states where angiogenin has been implicated and finally, its potential clinical applications.

Mar 28, 2025 · ANG (Angiogenin) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with ANG include Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 9 and Frontotemporal Dementia And/Or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 7. Among its related pathways are Cell junction organization and Gene Silencing by …

Biologic Properties of Angiogenin Angiogenin, a 14 kDa potent blood-vessel–inducing protein, was originally discovered in the conditioned media of the human colon carcinoma cell line HT-29 (Fett et al., 1985).

Jan 27, 2003 · We show that a previously uncharacterized angiogenin, Ang4, is produced by mouse Paneth cells, is secreted into the gut lumen and has bactericidal activity against intestinal microbes.
