It acts as cell-surface receptor for the ligands ANGPT1, ANGPT2 and ANGPT4 and regulates among others angiogenesis, endothelial cell survival and maintenance of vascular quiescence. It is important in the regulation of both normal physiologic and pathologic angiogenesis.

Arginine at position 849 is found in six residues upstream of the invariant lysine K855 in the kinase domain (sequence preserved among the human, bovine, murine and rat TIE2 sequences). This seems to prove that a basic amino acid is essential for this position. In addition, arginine located a few amino acids before invariant lysine is involved in stabilizing the kinase domain (hydrogen binding of arginine with a proline downstream). It is therefore possible that R849 may also be involved in the stabilization of the kinase domain. Thus, the substitution of R849 by a W could modify the conformation of the kinase domain, leading to a decrease in inhibitory mechanisms and involving autophosphorylation. | Arginine at position 849 is found in six residues upstream of the invariant lysine K855 in the kinase domain (sequence preserved among the human, bovine, murine and rat TIE2 sequences).
