Description

ANGPTL2 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 493 amino acids ( 22-493 a.a.) including a 20 a.a N-terminal His tag. The total molecular mass is 57.1kDa (calculated).

Product Specs

Introduction
Angiopoietins are part of the vascular endothelial growth factor family and are primarily known for their specificity towards vascular endothelium. Angiopoietins-1, 2, and 4 play a role in the development of blood vessels. ANGPTL2, an angiopoietin-like protein, exhibits angiogenic properties and acts as an anti-diabetic factor. It promotes sprouting in endothelial cells through autocrine and paracrine mechanisms and enhances insulin sensitivity in adipocytes. ANGPTL2 is also involved in chronic inflammation of adipose tissue. Its expression is widespread in organs like the heart, small intestine, spleen, and stomach, while being present at lower levels in the colon, ovary, adrenal gland, skeletal muscle, and prostate.
Description

Recombinant Human ANGPTL2, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 493 amino acids (22-493 a.a.). This includes a 20 a.a. N-terminal His tag, resulting in a total molecular mass of 57.1kDa (calculated).

Physical Appearance

The product appears as a clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.

Formulation

The ANGPTL2 protein solution is provided at a concentration of 0.5mg/ml and is buffered in a solution of 20mM Tris HCL (pH 7-8) with 10% glycerol.

Stability

For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the product should be kept refrigerated at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the product at -20°C. To further enhance stability during long-term storage, adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advisable. It is important to minimize repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve product integrity.

Purity

The purity of the ANGPTL2 protein is determined to be greater than 85.0% based on SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Expression

ANGPTL2 is a secreted glycoprotein that does not bind to the Tie-1 or Tie-2 receptors, which are typically associated with angiopoietins . The mature human ANGPTL2 shares 89% sequence identity with both mouse and rat homologs . It is widely expressed in many tissues and its expression is induced by chronic, but not acute, hypoxia .

Function and Mechanism

ANGPTL2 has been shown to induce sprouting in endothelial cells, although it is not mitogenic . It plays a significant role in promoting the expansion of E16 rat liver mononuclear cells in vitro, especially in the presence of other growth factors such as Recombinant Mouse SCF/c-kit Ligand, Recombinant Mouse Thrombopoietin/Tpo, and Recombinant Mouse Flt-3 Ligand . The protein is also involved in various inflammatory processes and has been linked to metabolic regulation.

Recombinant Production

Recombinant human ANGPTL2 is typically produced using a mouse myeloma cell line, NS0-derived human Angiopoietin-like Protein 2/ANGPTL2 protein . The protein is purified to a high degree, with a purity greater than 75% as determined by SDS-PAGE visualized with Silver Staining and quantitative densitometry by Coomassie® Blue Staining . The endotoxin level is kept below 0.10 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method .

Applications

Recombinant ANGPTL2 is used in various research applications, including studies on angiogenesis, inflammation, and metabolism. It is also used in functional assays to measure its binding ability and its effect on cell proliferation and differentiation .

Storage and Stability

The recombinant protein is typically lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution and can be reconstituted at 200 μg/mL in water . It is shipped at ambient temperature and should be stored at -20 to -70 °C to maintain its stability. Once reconstituted, it can be stored under sterile conditions at 2 to 8 °C for up to one month or at -20 to -70 °C for up to three months .
