Angiogenin can influence mammalian cell growth and survival. Angiogenin (ANG) acts as a stress/damage sensor that can influence cell growth (as demonstrated with certain cancers) or cell survival (as demonstrated with neurons). Angiogenin is upregulated in various cancers and downregulated in the neurodegenerative diseases shown (ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; PD, Parkinson's disease). The illustration only reflects two of the major processes influenced by angiogenin in this emerging field, not all of its known effects.
