Uniprot ID | O15123 | ||
Protein Name | Angiopoietin-2 | ||
Gene Name | ANGPT2 | ||
Species | Homo sapiens (Human) |
Signal peptide(a) | Y | Secretome P(b) | 0.671 |
Function | Binds to TEK/TIE2, competing for the ANGPT1 binding site, and modulating ANGPT1 signaling. Can induce tyrosine phosphorylation of TEK/TIE2 in the absence of ANGPT1. In the absence of angiogenic inducers, such as VEGF, ANGPT2-mediated loosening of cell-matrix contacts may induce endothelial cell apoptosis with consequent vascular regression. In concert with VEGF, it may facilitate endothelial cell migration and proliferation, thus serving as a permissive angiogenic signal. . | ||
