basic FUNCTION	inducing spronting in endothelial cells through an autocrine or paracrine action
	key adipocyte-derived inflammatory mediator that links obesity to systemic insulin resistance
	act through its coiled-coil domains to enhance survival and replating capacity of human cord blood hematopoietic progenitors
	chronic inflammation mediator, and important facilitator of inflammatory carcinogenesis and metastasis
	potential keratinocyte-derived ANGPTL2 functions in dermatomyositis pathogenesis by inducing chronic inflammation in skin tissue
	macrophage-derived ANGPTL2 contributes to abdominal aortic aneurysm development by inducing inflammation and degradation of extracellular matrix in the vessel wall
