Ang-1 (E207) polyclonal antibody

Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) is a secreted ligand for Tie-2. Preliminary biochemical analyses of Ang-1 reveal a potential Fibrinogen-like domain at the carboxy-terminus and coiled-coil regions in the amino-terminus. Ang-1 is an angiogenic factor that is thought to be involved in endothelial development. A related protein, angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), has been identified as a naturally occurring antagonist of Ang-1 activation of Tie-2. In adult tissue, Ang-2 expression seems to be restricted to sites of vascular remodeling.
