Vasohibin-2 (VASH2) is a multifaceted protein that is encoded for by the VASH2 gene. As a vasohibin protein, VASH2 is closely associated with the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family of proteins as well. VASH2 has therefore been implicated in playing a vital role in blood vessel generation (angiogenesis), especially as it relates to tumor growth, but it has also been observed in association with neuron differentiation as well as ameliorating the symptoms of diabetic nephropathology (kidney disease).
