Description: Angiogenin belongs to the pancreatic ribonuclease family. Angiogenin is primarily expressed in the liver. It may act as a tRNA-specific ribonuclease that abolishes protein synthesis by specifically hydrolyzing cellular tRNAs. Angiogenin is a potent stimulator of new blood vessel formation. And Angiogenin is endocytosed and translocated to the nucleus by binding to actin on the surface of endothelial cells. Angiogenic activity is regulated by interaction with RNH1 in vivo. In addition, Angiogenin is associated with susceptibility to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which is a degenerative disorder of motor neurons in the cortex, brain stem and spinal cord.

Description: Putative Polycomb group protein ASXL1 involved in transcriptional regulation mediated by ligand-bound nuclear hormone receptors, such as retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG). It acts as coactivator of RARA and RXRA through association with NCOA1. ASXL1 also acts as corepressor through recruitment of KDM1A and CBX5 to target genes in a cell-type specific manner; the function seems to involve differential recruitment of methylated histone H3 to respective promoters.

Description: Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 10B (TNFRSF10B) is also known as TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand receptor 2 (TRAILR2), Death receptor 5 (DR5), CD262, KILLER, is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily, and contains an intracellular death domain. TNFRSF10B / DR-5 is widely expressed in adult and fetal tissues; very highly expressed in tumor cell lines. TRAILR2 / CD262 / DR5 is the receptor for the cytotoxic ligand TNFSF10/TRAIL. The adapter molecule FADD (a death domain containing adaptor protein) of TRAIL-R2 / TNFRSF10B recruits caspase-8 to the activated receptor. The resulting death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs caspase-8 proteolytic activation which initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) mediating apoptosis. CD262 / DR5 Promotes the activation of NF-kappa-B. DR5 is essential for ER stress-induced apoptosis and is regulated by p53/TP53.
