Technical Data
T5498-72
Tie2 (Tunica Internal Endothelial Cell Kinase, Angiopoietin1 Receptor, p140 Tek, Tyrosine Protein Kinase Receptor)
Description:
TIE2 (tyrosine kinase with Ig and EGF homology domains 2) is expressed almost exclusively in endothelial cells in mice, rats and humans. This receptor possesses a unique extracellular domain containing two immunoglobulin-like loops separated by three epidermal growth factor-like repeats that are connected to three fibronectin type III-like repeats. The ligand for the receptor is Angiopoietin 1. Defects in TIE2 are associated with inherited venous malformations; the TIE2 signaling pathway appears to be critical for endothelial cell-smooth muscle cell communication in venous morphogenesis.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA, Immunoprecipitation, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilutions:
Immunoprecipitation: Reported to immunoprecipitate Tie2/TEK.
Western Blot: 0.2-1ug/ml. HUVEC cell lysate was resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with T5498-72. Proteins were visualized using an IgG (HRP) goat anti-mouse and a chemiluminescence detection system.
Immunohistochemistry: Reported to detect Tie2/TEK in frozen, Triton-treated sections. Not suitable for use in paraf n- embedded sections.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Positive Control:
HUVEC cell lysate

Recommended Secondary Antibodies:
I1904-06C: IgG, H&L (HRP) (X-Adsorbed) Pab Gt xMo
I1904-06H: IgG, H&L (HRP) (X-Adsorbed) Pab Gt xMo
