<p>The invention relates generally to the identification of nucleic acids and their encoded polypeptides, particularly VCC1, whose expression is modulated in angiogenesis. These nucleic acids and proteins have not previously been identified as having a biological role in angiogenesis. The invention further relates to compounds that modulate VCC1 expression and/or activity. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of VCC-1 expression and for treatment of diseases associated with expression of VCC-1 are provided. Also included are methods of diagnosis of VCC1 associated angiogenic disorders.</p> |
