This antibody detects TEK pTyr1113. Predicted to cross react with Mouse and Zebrafish (100 % Antigen Homology).
Purification
Protein A Chromatography followed by two-step phosphospecific peptide affinity purification.
Immunogen
This antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Y1113 of human TEK.
The TEK receptor tyrosine kinase is expressed almost exclusively in endothelial cells in mice, rats, and humans. This receptor possesses a unique extracellular domain containing 2 immunoglobulin-like loops separated by 3 epidermal growth factor-like repeats that are connected to 3 fibronectin type III-like repeats. The ligand for the receptor is angiopoietin-1. Defects in TEK are associated with inherited venous malformations, the TEK signaling pathway appears to be critical for endothelial cell-smooth muscle cell communication in venous morphogenesis. TEK is closely related to the TIE receptor tyrosine kinase.Synonyms: Angiopoietin-1 receptor, TIE-2, TIE2, Tunica interna endothelial cell kinase, Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor TEK, Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor TIE-2, p140 TEK
