    basic FUNCTION
  • promoting the endothelial invasiveness necessary for blood vessel formation
  • required for cell proliferation induced by other angiogenic proteins such as VEGF
  • secreted ribonuclease required for stress-induced production of tiRNAs (stress-induced small RNAs) (Yamasaki 2009)
  • playing an important role in neurite extension/pathfinding and survival
  • angiogenic factor that induces neovascularization (Crabtree 2007)
  • contribute to hair growth directly, by stimulating dermal papilla cells and keratinocytes to proliferate, or indirectly, by inducing local vascularization (Zhou 2009)
  • inducing nitric oxide synthesis in endothelial cells (Trouillon 2010)
    • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS facilitated diffusion transport
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • angiogenin and tiRNAs are components of a phospho-eIF2alpha-independent stress response program (Yamasaki 2009)
    • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding FST
  • FHL3 is a novel ANG binding partner (this interaction may provide some clues to the mechanisms of ANG-regulated cell growth and apoptosis)
