Regulation of Angiopoietin Signalling by Soluble Tie2 Ectodomain and Engineered Ligand Trap

Abstract Angiopoietin-1 (Angpt1) is a glycoprotein ligand important for maintaining the vascular system. It signals via a receptor tyrosine kinase expressed on the surface on endothelial cells, Tie2. This receptor can undergo regulated ectodomain cleavage that releases the ligand-binding domain (sTi...
