When human Tie-2-Fc Chimera is immobilized at 2.0 µg/mL, human Angiopoietin-2 (Cat. No. 753102) binds with an EC50 of 20 - 80 ng/mL. -
Stability testing for Human Tie-2-Fc Chimera. Human Tie-2-Fc Chimera was aliquoted in PBS, pH 7.2 at 0.2 mg/mL. One aliquot was frozen and thawed four times (4x Freeze/Thaw), and compared to a control kept at 4°C (Control). The samples were tested in a binding assay with human Angiopoietin-2.

Tie-2, also known as CD202b and TEK, is a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family of proteins. It is expressed in endothelial cells, their progenitor cells, quiescent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), and a subpopulation of monocytes. Angiopoietin proteins are identified as the ligands for Tie-2. Angiopoietin-1 (ANGPT-1) is an activator of Tie-2, inducing its autophosphorylation to promote, maintain, and stabilize mature vessels and to maintain HSCs in a quiescent state. The ANGPT-1/Tie-2 system is required for the differentiation, proliferation and survival of endothelial cells during embryogenesis and adult vascular homeostasis. Autophosphorylation of Y1106 on Tie-2 is essential for binding and phosphorylation of the downstream-of-kinase-related (Dok-R) docking protein, in turn to regulate cell migration during sprouting angiogenesis. In addition, phosphorylated Tie-2 also associates with Grb7 adaptor protein and tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 to regulate cell migration and cell survival. Excess Tie-2 signaling in skin leads to psoriasis, along with epidermal hyperplasia, inflammatory cell recruitment and altered dermal angiogenesis. ANGPT-2 is identified as a natural antagonist for ANGPT-1 and Tie-2. Overexpression of ANGPT-2 resulted in low levels of phosphorylated Tie-2, vascular defect and impaired blood vessel formation. Mouse ANGPT-3 and human ANGPT-4 show distinct distribution patterns. ANGPT-3 and ANGPT-4 function as an antagonist and an agonist of Tie-2, respectively. It has been reported that Tie-2 can phosphorylate Grb7, Grb14 (Growth Factor Receptor Bound) adaptor protein and p85 subunit of PI3 kinase. Vascular endothelial protein-tyrosine phosphatase (VE-PTP, mouse orthologue of human protein tyrosine phosphatase-β, HPTPβ) and human cellular tyrosine phosphatase A (HCPTPA) are regulators that modulate ANGPT/Tie-2 function. Some evidence indicates that Tie-1 dynamically forms a heterodimer with Tie-2 and may inhibit the activation of Tie-2.

We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!
- What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?
-
The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.
- Have your recombinants been tested for stability?
-
Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.
- Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?
-
Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.
- How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?
-
Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
