Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting Specificity / Sensitivity Angiopoietin-2 (D200) Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total angiopoietin-2 protein. Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Asp200 of human angiopoietin-2 protein. Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography. Background Angiopoietins are a family of Tie receptor ligands. There are four angiopoietins discovered so far: angiopoietins 1, 2, 3 and 4 (Ang1, 2, 3, and 4) (1-3). Ang1 binds to the Tie-2 receptor and leads to its autophosphorylation and subsequent activation of downstream signaling pathways. It plays an important role in blood vessel formation, maturation and subsequent stabilization (1,4,5). Ang2 is an endothelium-specific growth factor that functions as an antagonist to Ang1, promotes vascular associated proinflammatory function, destabilizes quiescent endothelium, leads to vascular leakage and vascular destabilization and remodeling (2,6,7). Ang2 is selectively expressed in many tumor tissues where, combined with other growth factors such as VEGF, it can promote vascular remodeling, angiogenesis and inflammation (7-9).
