MODULATION OF ANGIOGENESIS THROUGH TARGETING OF CYSTEINE OXYGENASE ACTIVITY

摘要

The invention provides methods and compositions for modulating angiogenesis in a subject. The methods of modulating angiogenesis in a subject include administering to the subject a modulator of N-terminal cysteine oxygenase activity. The invention also provides a method of identifying such a modulator and a method of in vitro screening for modulators of N-terminal cysteine oxygenase activity. Additionally, the invention provides a method of treating an angiogenesis-related disorder.
