Angiopoietin-2, also known as ANGPT2, is a member of the ANG family. It has been identified as ligands for vascular endothelial-specific Tie2 receptor tyrosine kinase that interact with ANG2. This protein may be important growth factors in the generation of new blood vessels. Also, it is over-expression disrupts blood vessel formation in the mouse embryo. This protein is strongly expressed only at sites of vascular remodeling. It has been suggested that it may act synergistically with other cytokines such as vascular endothelial growth factor to promote tumor-associated Angiogenesis and tumor progression. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa19-496 from human Angiopoietin-2, fused to His-Tag at C-terminal expressed in CHO cells.
