Target Information

ANG-2 binds to the endothelial cell-specific receptor Tie-2 but, in contrast to ANG-1, does not induce tyrosine phosphorylation. Consequently, ANG-2 modulates ANG-1 activation of Tie-2 and, depending on the physiological and biochemical environment, can act either as an agonist or antagonist of Tie-2 induced angiogenesis.
The signaling interactions of ANG-1, ANG-2, and Tie-2, along with less characterized ANG-3 and ANG-4, are required for embryonic and adult angiogenesis. Physiologically, ANG-1 and ANG-2 are associated with sprouting, tube formation, and structural integrity of newly formed blood vessels.
Mature human ANG-2 is a secreted protein containing 480 amino acid residues and is composed of an alpha-helix-rich coiled coil N-terminal domain and fibrinogen-like C-terminal domain. ANG-2 exists predominantly in the form of a disulfide-linked dimer.
