FITC-Labeled Angiopoietin-2 Protein, Human (HEK293, His)

Angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2) protein competes with ANGPT1 for TEK/TIE2 binding, modulates ANGPT1 signaling and induces TEK/TIE2 phosphorylation even in the absence of ANGPT1. In the absence of angiogenic stimulation, ANGPT2 disrupts cell-matrix contacts, potentially triggering endothelial cell apoptosis and vessel regression. FITC-Labeled Angiopoietin-2 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived FITC-Labeled Angiopoietin-2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-His labeled tag. The total length of FITC-Labeled Angiopoietin-2 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is 222 a.a., with molecular weight of 30-40 kDa.

The Angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2) protein binds to TEK/TIE2, competing for the ANGPT1 binding site and thereby modulating ANGPT1 signaling. This interaction can induce the tyrosine phosphorylation of TEK/TIE2 even in the absence of ANGPT1. In the absence of angiogenic inducers, such as VEGF, ANGPT2's action leads to the loosening of cell-matrix contacts, potentially inducing endothelial cell apoptosis and consequent vascular regression. However, in the presence of VEGF, ANGPT2 collaborates to facilitate endothelial cell migration and proliferation, acting as a permissive angiogenic signal. Furthermore, ANGPT2 is involved in the regulation of lymphangiogenesis. The protein also interacts with TEK/TIE2, competing for the same binding site as ANGPT1, and additionally interacts with ITGA5, contributing to its multifaceted role in angiogenesis and vascular regulation.

Greater than 90% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Lyophilized powder

Lyophilized a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4. Normally trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years, protect from light. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
