| ANGPT1 | Angiopoietin-1; Binds and activates TIE2 receptor by inducing its tyrosine phosphorylation. Implicated in endothelial developmental processes later and distinct from that of VEGF. Appears to play a crucial role in mediating reciprocal interactions between the endothelium and surrounding matrix and mesenchyme. Mediates blood vessel maturation/stability. It may play an important role in the heart early development (By similarity). (510 aa) | ||||
| ANGPT2 | Angiopoietin-2; Binds to TEK/TIE2, competing for the ANGPT1 binding site, and modulating angiogenic signals mediated by ANGPT1. 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 (By similarity). (495 aa) | ||||
| SVEP1 | Sushi, von Willebrand factor type A, EGF and pentraxin domain containing 1. (3532 aa) | ||||
| TEK | TEK receptor tyrosine kinase. (1147 aa) | ||||
