Evolution of the angiopoietin-like gene family in teleosts and their role in skin regeneration
13 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The skin in vertebrates is a protective barrier and damage is rapidly repaired to re-establish barrier function and maintain internal homeostasis. The angiopoietin-like (ANGPTL) proteins are a family of eight secreted glycoproteins with an important role in skin repair and angiogenesis in humans. In other vertebrates their existence and role in skin remains largely unstudied. The present study...
