Angiopoietin-related proteins

Angiopoietin-related proteins are a group of molecules in the body that help regulate blood vessel growth, stability, and repair. They belong to the broader angiopoietin family and play essential roles in maintaining healthy blood vessels, supporting tissue development, and healing injuries. These proteins interact with specific receptors on blood vessel cells to promote proper vessel formation and function. They are important in processes like wound healing, inflammation, and sometimes in diseases where blood vessels are affected, such as cancer or eye disorders. Overall, angiopoietin-related proteins are crucial for the body's vascular health and maintenance.
