Entrez gene ID | | 285 |
Official gene symbol | | ANGPT2 |
Full name | | angiopoietin 2 |
Aliases | | ,AGPT2,ANG2, |
Gene summary | | The protein encoded by this gene is an antagonist of angiopoietin 1 (ANGPT1) and endothelial TEK tyrosine kinase (TIE-2, TEK). The encoded protein disrupts the vascular remodeling ability of ANGPT1 and may induce endothelial cell apoptosis. Three transcript variants encoding three different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq] |
