Angiogenin

Semenogelin, as it is known, has never before been seen in the heart, while others, such as angiogenin, are more predictably found in growing blood vessels and muscle tissue, and are actively involved in tissue repair. ❋ Unknown (2008)

But the researchers are hopeful that angiogenin holds the key to developing ways of preventing disease progression in humans. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Last year, scientists discovered that some patients with MND have a mutated version of the human angiogenin gene. ❋ Unknown (2007)

She said there was mounting evidence that proteins like angiogenin could be implicated in some cases. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Since then, experts have been trying to find out what role angiogenin plays in the maintenance and development of motor neurones. ❋ Unknown (2007)

"If we can block the function of the faulty angiogenin in patients in which it is present, this may help to maintain healthy neurones and prevent further progression of the disease." ❋ Unknown (2007)

These were lumican, semenogelin, angiogenin, extracellular matrix protein, and so-called long palate, lung and nasal epithelium carcinoma-associated protein 1. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Mutant versions of the gene’s product – angiogenin – are toxic to motor neurones, so blocking this process may stop the disease, they say. ❋ Unknown (2007)
