| Miscellaneous/General: | Human ANGPTL7 is produced as a secreted glycoprotein with a molecular mass of 45kDa in SDS-PAGE analysis. Human mRNA is expressed in neural tissues, keratoconus cornea, trabecular meshwork, melanotic melanoma and uterus endometrial cancer, while mouse Angptl7 mRNA is expressed in four-cell embryos, synovial fibroblasts, thymus, uterus and testis. ANGPTL7 reduces tumor growth and aberrant blood vessel formation by inducing massive fibrosis in a mouse xenograft model. It was reported that addition of ANGPTL7 results in a further increase in HSC activities. This suggests that ANGPTL7 may activate signal transduction pathways that cannot be activated by SCF, TPO, IGF-2 or FGF-1. Human ANGPTL7, characterized as potent target gene of WNT/ beta-catenin signalling pathway, is a pharmacogenomics target in the fields of oncology and regenerative medicine. |
