Product Specific Information

The TEK4 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse Tie-2 (CD202), a tyrosine kinase receptor expressed on endothelial and certain hematopoietic cells. Tie-2 plays a role in angiogenesis and hematopoiesis during mouse embryonic development.
In fetal liver and adult bone marrow, Tie-2 is expressed by a subpopulation of hematopoietic progenitor cells (Lineage^-, c-Kit^+, Sca1^+). Long-term multilineage repopulating cells were detected in Tie-2^+, Lineage^-, c-Kit^+, Sca1^+ cells but not in Tie-2^- cells.

Applications Reported: Flow cytometric analysis.
Applications Tested: Tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse bone marrow cells. Recommended ≤ 0.5 µg/test (100 µL final volume). Cell number may range from 10^5–10^8 cells/test. Antibody titration recommended for optimal performance.

Target Information

The TEK (TIE2) receptor tyrosine kinase is mainly expressed in endothelial cells and is essential for endothelial–smooth muscle cell communication in venous morphogenesis. Defects in TEK are linked to inherited venous malformations.
Angiopoietin-1 binds to TEK and mediates signaling crucial for embryonic vascular development. TIE2 expression increases with thyroid-stimulating hormone and agents elevating intracellular cAMP.
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) expressing TIE2 are quiescent, antiapoptotic, and adhere to osteoblasts in the bone marrow niche.
