angiostatin
Term: angiostatin
Literally meaning: ?protein of blocking blood vessels?
Origin: Anc Greek
??????/angio(=vessel, receptacle) > ?????/aggos(=tube)
+??????/histimi(=stand) >??????/stasis(=halt)
Coined/History
Angiostatin was observed initially in 1994 as an angiogenesis inhibitor in serum and urine of mice bearing a Lewis lung carcinoma. The same research group reffered that plasminogen yields distinct angiostatins which have been termed angiostatin -1 and angiostatin-2.
