Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2; also ANGPT2) is a secreted glycoprotein that plays a complex role in angiogenesis and inflammation. Under reducing conditions, secreted monomeric Ang-2 is 65-66 kDa in size. Under non‑reducing conditions, both natural and recombinant Ang-2 form 140 kDa dimers, 200 kDa trimers, and 250-300 kDa tetramers and pentamers. Ang-2 is widely expressed during development, but it is restricted postnatally to highly angiogenic tissues such as the placenta, ovaries, and uterus . It is particularly abundant in vascular endothelial cells (EC) where it is stored in intracellular Weibel-Palade bodies. Both Ang-2 and the related Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) are ligands for the receptor tyrosine kinase Tie-2. Ang-2 is required for postnatal vascular remodeling, and it cooperates with Ang-1 during lymphatic vessel development. It mediates the up‑regulation of ICAM‑1 and VCAM‑1 on EC, which facilitates the adhesion of leukocytes during inflammation. Ang-2 is up‑regulated in both the endothelium and tumor cells of several cancers as well as in ischemic tissue. Its direct interaction with Integrins promotes tumor cell invasion. Ang-2 also promotes the neuronal differentiation and migration of subventricular zone progenitor cells.

表达区间及表达系统 |
Recombinant Human ANGPT2/Angiopoietin-2 Protein is expressed from HEK293 Cells with His tag and Avi tag at the N-terminal. It contains Lys275-Phe496. |
分子量 |
Approximately 28.4 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 30-35 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result. |
纯度 |
> 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
活性 |
ELISA Data: Immobilized Human ANGPT2, His Tag at 2μg/ml (100μl/well). Dose response curve for Anti-ANGPT2 Antibody, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 9.3ng/ml determined by ELISA. |
内毒素 |
< 1.0 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method. |
制剂 |
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 5% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization. |
复溶 |
Centrifuge tubes before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/mL is recommended (usually we use 1 mg/mL solution for lyophilization). Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. |
