The present invention relates to regulation of angiogenesis. More
particularly, the present invention is directed to nucleic acids encoding
"angiogenesis regulatory proteins and nucleic acids" which are involved
in modulation of angiogenesis. The invention further relates to methods
for identifying and using agents, including small organic molecules,
antibodies, peptides, cyclic peptides, nucleic acids, antisense nucleic
acids, RNAi, and ribozymes, that modulate angiogenesis via modulation of
angiogenesis regulatory proteins and nucleic acids; as well as to the use
of expression profiles and compositions in diagnosis and therapy of
diseases related to angiogenesis.
