TIE2 antibody, also known as TEK tyrosine kinase antibody, recognizes a receptor tyrosine kinase encoded by the TEK gene. This protein is commonly referred to as TIE2, Tunica interna endothelial cell kinase, and CD202b in the literature. TIE2 is a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase primarily expressed in vascular endothelial cells, where it regulates angiogenesis, vascular stability, and endothelial cell survival.
TIE2 belongs to the receptor tyrosine kinase family and contains extracellular immunoglobulin-like domains, epidermal growth factor-like repeats, fibronectin type III domains, a single transmembrane region, and an intracellular kinase domain. Ligand binding by angiopoietins, particularly Angiopoietin-1 and Angiopoietin-2, induces receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation, triggering downstream signaling pathways including PI3K-AKT and MAPK cascades that promote endothelial cell survival and vessel maturation.
TEK tyrosine kinase plays a central role in embryonic vascular development and postnatal angiogenesis. It is highly expressed in endothelial cells lining blood vessels and is critical for maintaining vascular quiescence and integrity. Dysregulation of TIE2 signaling contributes to pathological angiogenesis observed in cancer, inflammation, diabetic retinopathy, and vascular malformations. Activating mutations in TEK have been linked to inherited venous malformations, underscoring its importance in vascular biology.
In oncology research, TIE2 antibody is frequently used to study tumor-associated angiogenesis and endothelial cell signaling within the tumor microenvironment. Because of its endothelial-restricted expression pattern, TEK tyrosine kinase antibody serves as a useful marker for vascular structures in tissue sections. TIE2 is predominantly localized to the plasma membrane of endothelial cells, with activated forms also detected in the cytoplasmic compartment following receptor internalization. A TIE2 antibody can be used in research applications to evaluate TEK expression and vascular signaling dynamics in relevant experimental models.
Optimal dilution of the TIE2 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A human recombinant protein (amino acids A23-R616) was used as the immunogen for the TIE2 antibody.
After reconstitution, the TIE2 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
