Angiostatin is an internal proteolytic fragment of plasminogen that has at least three kringle domains. This protein fragment functions as an endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor, and can also block endothelial cell proliferation,. Furthermore, angiostatin can specifically inhibit the growth of metastatic tumor.
Monoclonal Anti-Angiostatin recognizes human angiostatin. This antibody also recognizes plasminogen but shows no cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse angiostatin.
