Description
ANGPT2 aka Angiopoietin-2 competes for binding to the TIE2 receptor and blocks angiopoietin-1 aka ANGPT1 induced TIE2 autophosphorylation during vasculogenesis. ANGPT-2 is a naturally occurring antagonist of ANGPT-1. ANGPT2 induces tyrosine phosphorylation of TEK/TIE2 in the lack of Angiopoietin-2. In the deficiency of VEGF an angiogenic inducer, ANGPT-2 induces endothelial cell apoptosis resulting in vascular regression. ANGPT2 along with VEGF enable endothelial cell migration and proliferation, resulting in permissive angiogenic signal.
Description: ANGPT2 produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells by recombinant DNA technology is a single, polypeptide chain (19-496 a.a.) and fused to a 6 aa His Tag at C-terminus containing a total of 484 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 55.7kDa.ANGPT2 shows multiple bands between 50-100kDa on SDS-PAGE, reducing conditions and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques
