Source: NCBI Gene (ID 11601)
Symbol: Angpt2
Full name: angiopoietin 2
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: Agpt2; Ang-2; Ang2
Summary: This gene encodes an endothelial cell (EC)-derived regulator of angiogenesis and ligand for endothelial-specific receptor tyrosine kinase. The encoded protein acts as an anti-apoptotic factor for stressed ECs and a proapoptotic factor for resting ECs. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]
