Tie2 / TEK Protein Description

Tie2/Tek, together with Tie1/Tie, are members of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) subfamily, and possess a unique extracellular domain containing two immunoglobulin-like loop domains flanking three epidermal growth factor (EGF) repeats followed by three fibronectin-type I II repeats, and a split tyrosine kinase domain in the cytoplasmic region. Tie2 is expressed predominantly on endothelial and hematopoietic progenitor cells and is essential for blood vessel formation and maintenance. The identified ligand angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) binds Tie2 receptor with high-affinity and induces the signaling pathway of both cell migration and cell survival via the related mediator such as GRB2 and SH-PTP2. Accordingly, the Tie2 may trigger crucial endothelial responses during embryonic vascular development and during pathologic vascular growth, as well as the inflammatory responses with the key regulator ABIN-2. Recent study has revealed that Ang1-Tie2 signaling exerts different function at cell-cell contacts and cell-substratum contacts dependent upon the spatial localization of Tie2. Deficiency in this gene is associated with inherited venous malformations.
