Ang6 - angiogenin, ribonuclease A family, member 6

Predicted to enable several functions, including actin binding activity; heparin binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including activation of protein kinase B activity; defense response to other organism; and positive regulation of phospholipase activity. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; basement membrane; and nucleolus. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in gut; male reproductive gland or organ; and thymus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in diabetic retinopathy; myocardial infarction; neurodegenerative disease (multiple); and prostate cancer. Orthologous to human ANG (angiogenin).
