Angiopoietin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ANGPT2 gene.[1]

Naturally occurring antagonist for both ANGPT1 and TIE2; expressed only at the sites of vascular remodeling; similar to angiopoietin-1[2]

Contents

Interactions

ANGPT2 has been shown to interact with TEK tyrosine kinase.[3][4][5]
