A new role for angiogenin in neurite growth and pathfinding: implications for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in human angiogenin (hANG), an angiogenic member of the RNase A superfamily, have been recently reported in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive late-onset neurodegenerative disorder. However, very little is known about the expression and subcellular distribution of ANG in the nervous system or its role in differentiation. Here we report that mouse angiogenin-1 (mAng-1) is...
