Disease relevance of Tek

 

High impact information on Tek

  • These data demonstrate a role for the Tie2 pathway in pathologic angiogenesis, suggesting that targeting this pathway may yield effective antiangiogenic agents for treatment of cancer and other angiogenic diseases [6].
  • Tie2 is a novel receptor tyrosine kinase that is expressed almost exclusively by vascular endothelium [6].
  • The effects of the drugs were evaluated by morphometric assessment of endothelial cell injury in H&E, trypan blue, and immunostained (TIE2/Tek) biopsy specimens [7].
  • Tie2 (a.k.a Tek) is an endothelium-specific receptor tyrosine kinase known to play a role in tumor angiogenesis [8].
  • Surprisingly, however, unlike Tie2-null mutant mice, mice deficient in signaling through this tyrosine residue show a normal association of perivascular cells with nascent blood vessels [9].
