Angiopoietin 2 Antibody

ANGPT2, also known as ANG2 or Angiopoietin 2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ANGPT2 gene. It is mapped to 8p23.1. ANGPT2 is a naturally occurring antagonist of ANG1 that competes for binding to the TIE2 receptor and blocks ANGPT1-induced TIE2 autophosphorylation during vasculogenesis. The encoded protein disrupts the vascular remodeling ability of ANGPT1 and may induce endothelial cell apoptosis. ANGPT2 was significantly increased in plasma and alveolar edema fluid in adults with acute lung injury compared to controls or patients with hydrostatic pulmonary edema, tracheal. ANGPT2 was also significantly increased in neonates with respiratory distress syndrome who developed bronchopulmonary edema. It is also a mediator of epithelial necrosis with an important role in hyperoxic acute lung injury and pulmonary edema.
