Method for stimulating angiogenesis using DKK2 and composition comprising the same

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for stimulating angiogenesis using by DKK2 and composition comprising the same. The DKK2 protein of the present invention showed stimulating activities of tube formation on HUVEC, promoting activity of the sprouting of arterial circle tissues and promoting activity of vascular development in the embryo of mouse. Therefore, it can be used as the therapeutics or functional health food for treating and preventing ischemic disease.
