Abstract: Deer antler is an only known mammalian organ that can periodically regenerate, and grow very rapidly without going cancerous. Proteins are the carrier and the function executor of life activities, the research of proteins related to deer antler is an important measure to unlock the secrets of antler’s regeneration. The proteins involved in angiogenesis, cartilage formation, nerve regeneration and other functions during antler regeneration are reviewed which aims at providing basic data for revealing antler regeneration process at the protein level.

Key words: proteins related to deer antler regeneration, angiogenesis, cartilage formation, nerve regeneration
