关于 ANGPTL2

功能概要

血管生成素是血管内皮生长因子家族的成员，并且是唯一已知的主要对血管内皮具有特异性的生长因子。 Angiopoietin-1、angiopoietin-2 和 Angiopoietin-4 参与血管的形成。 ANGPTL2 蛋白是一种与血管生成素同源的分泌型糖蛋白，可能通过自分泌或旁分泌作用对内皮细胞发挥作用。[RefSeq 提供，2008 年 7 月]

Angiopoietins are members of the vascular endothelial growth factor family and the only known growth factors largely specific for vascular endothelium. Angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2, and Angiopoietin-4 participate in the formation of blood vessels. ANGPTL2 protein is a secreted glycoprotein with homology to the Angiopoietins and may exert a function on endothelial cells through autocrine or paracrine action. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
