Function
[ANGP2_HUMAN] Binds to TEK/TIE2, competing for the ANGPT1 binding site, and modulating ANGPT1 signaling. Can induce tyrosine phosphorylation of TEK/TIE2 in the absence of ANGPT1. In the absence of angiogenic inducers, such as VEGF, ANGPT2-mediated loosening of cell-matrix contacts may induce endothelial cell apoptosis with consequent vascular regression. In concert with VEGF, it may facilitate endothelial cell migration and proliferation, thus serving as a permissive angiogenic signal.[1] [2] [3] [4]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
The angiopoietins comprise a small class of secreted glycoproteins that play crucial roles in the maturation and maintenance of the mammalian vascular and lymphatic systems. They exert their effects through a member of the tyrosine kinase receptor family, Tie2. Angiopoietin/Tie2 signaling is unique among tyrosine kinase receptor-ligand systems in that distinct angiopoietin ligands, although highly homologous, can function as agonists or antagonists in a context-dependent manner. In an effort to understand this molecular dichotomy, we have crystallized and determined the 2.4 A crystal structure of the Angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) receptor binding region. The structure reveals a fibrinogen fold with a unique C-terminal P domain. Conservation analysis and structure-based mutagenesis identify a groove on the Ang2 molecular surface that mediates receptor recognition.
