he remodelling of the primitive vasculature in mammals to form the mature cardiovascular system includes a number of factors directing endothelial cell development. Angiopoietin-1 is an angiogenic secreted protein that interacts with the endothelial specific Tie-2 receptor. It is primarily expressed in developing endothelial cells. During embryonic development, Ang-1 binds and induces tyrosine phosphorylation of Tie-2. Ang-1 appears to play a crucial role in mediating matrix and mesenchyme. It mediates blood vessel maturation and stability. Ang-1 may play a critical role in heart development. Ang-1 deficient mice mimic the phenotype exhibited by animals deficient in Tie-2. A homolog of Ang-1, termed Angiopoietin-2 may act as an antagonist for Ang-1 and Tie-2. Ang-1 and Ang-2 have ~60% sequence homology.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1:1000
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
