Angiopoietin-2 is critical for cytokine-induced vascular leakage.

Angiopoietin-2 is critical for cytokine-induced vascular leakage.

Genetic experiments (loss-of-function and gain-of-function) have established the role of Angiopoietin/Tie ligand/receptor tyrosine kinase system as a regulator of vessel maturation and quiescence. Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) acts on Tie2-expressing resting endothelial cells as an antagonistic ligand to n...
