## Background: Experimental evidence has shown that thymidine phosphorylase (dthdpase) is identical to platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (pd-ecgf) and has angiogenic activity. the enzymatic activity of dthdpase was needed for the angiogenesis by the enzyme. these observations were cat
