Background Information
Angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) is a growth factor belonging to the angiopoietin/Tie (tyrosine kinase with Ig and EGF homology domains) signaling pathway, one of the main pathways involved in angiogenesis. Angiopoietin-2 was identified through a cDNA library screening, shortly after the identification of angiopoietin-1. Angiopoietin-2, is a natural antagonist for Tie2 that disrupts in vivo angiogenesis. In adult mice and humans, Angiopoietin-2 is expressed only at sites of vascular remodeling. Angiopoietin-2 has also been found to be highly expressed in diverse tumor cells and plays an important role in tumor angiogenesis and inflammation.
