Commentssecreted from endothelial cells in response to TNF-? and VEGF, association between TARS expression and advancing stage of ovarian cancer, mutation that prevents synthetase activity is still active in promoting vascular development, single amino acid substitutions in TARS can block the anti-angiogenic effects of BC194, indicating that TARS is the specific target of BC194
