Recombinant Human Tie1 Protein (His Tag)

TIE-1 (Tyrosine Kinase with Ig and EGF Homology domains 1) and TIE-2/Tek comprise a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) subfamily. These receptors are expressed on endothelial and hematopoietic progenitor cells and play critical roles in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and hematopoiesis. Human TIE-1 cDNA encodes a 1124 amino acid (aa) residue precursor protein with an 18aa signal peptide, a 727 aa extracellular domain and a 354 aa cytoplasmic domain. so far, two ligands have been described for TIE-2 [angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) ], but no ligand was found for TIE-1.

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
