UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: O15123 (O15123)
Gene Name:
ANGPT2
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)
Function: Binds to TEK/TIE2, competing for the ANGPT1 binding site, and modulating ANGPT1 signaling (PubMed:15284220, PubMed:19116766, PubMed:19223473, PubMed:9204896). Can induce tyrosine phosphorylation of TEK/TIE2 in the absence of ANGPT1 (PubMed:15284220, PubMed:19116766, PubMed:19223473, PubMed:9204896). 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 (PubMed:15284220, PubMed:19116766, PubMed:19223473, PubMed:9204896). Involved in the regulation of lymphangiogenesis (PubMed:32908006)
