Gene information for ANGPT2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID285
Official gene symbolANGPT2
Full nameangiopoietin 2
Aliases,AGPT2,ANG2,
Gene summaryThe 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]
