Synthetic peptide corresponding to 20aa of human TIE2, C- terminal, cytoplasmic domain (KLH).
Embryonic vascular system undergoes a series of complex, highly regulated series of events involving differentiation, migration and association of primitive endothelial cells. This process is termed vasculogenesis. A further remodeling of the primitive vascular system forms the mature cardiovascular system. This process is known as angiogenesis (sprouting of new capillary vessels from pre-existing vasculature). A family of receptor tyrosine kinases TIE1 and TIE 2 or Tek has been identified in vascular endothelium and hematopoietic cells. Mice lacking TIE 1 or TIE 2 are lethal. Ties may represent the earliest endothelial cell lineage marker and may regulate the endothelial cell proliferation, differentiation, and proper patterning during vasculogenesis. TIEs appear to be acting downstream of the VEGFRs. Tie-2 (human 1124aa, mouse 1122aa) is a type 1 membrane receptor protein specifically expressed in developing vascular endothelial cells and their progenitors, angioblasts. It is also found in placenta and lung, with lower levels in umbilical vein endothelial cells, brain and kidney. Tie-2 extracellular portion (25-279aa) contains 3 fibronectin type III-like and 2 Ig- like C2-type, and 3-EGF-like domains.
