Product details:
Human TIE2 ELISA Kit (ab246525) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of TIE2 protein in cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human TIE2 with 24 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

TIE2 also known as TEK or CD202B is a receptor tyrosine kinase with a mass of approximately 145 kDa. It plays an important role in vascular development and maintenance. TIE2 is mainly expressed in endothelial cells which line the interior surface of blood vessels. It binds angiopoietins predominantly Angiopoietin-1 (Angpt1) influencing vascular stability and permeability. Researchers use TIE2 antibodies including anti-TIE and anti-clone to study its role and functions across various contexts.
Biological function summary
TIE2 plays a central role in angiogenesis and blood vessel maturation. It forms a receptor complex with other components to mediate its effects. This interaction mainly involves Angpt1 which binds to TIE2 stabilizing blood vessels and preserving their integrity. TIE2 also participates in cell survival and migration processes necessary for normal vascular function. Researchers often perform Angpt1 ELISA in bulk to quantify interactions involving TIE2 in experiments.
Pathways
TIE2 is important in the angiopoietin-TIE signaling pathway regulating vascular development. TIE2 is related to proteins such as Angpt1 which are centrally involved in this pathway. It also interacts with various signaling molecules including phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) which contributes to cell survival pathways. Alterations in the TIE2 signaling cascade can lead to aberrant angiogenesis and related pathologies.
TIE2 is implicated in several vascular diseases and cancer. Mutations or dysregulation of TIE2 can result in venous malformations and further compromise blood vessel integrity. In cancer TIE2 expression can influence tumor angiogenesis enhancing tumor growth and metastasis. TIE2 interacts with proteins like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) which are involved in neovascularization and cancer progression. Understanding these interactions helps target therapeutic strategies in relevant diseases.
