CATEGORY

enzyme , RNA associated

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular
	intracellular,nucleus,nucleolus

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)
