Angpt4

This gene is a member of the angiopoietin family of secreted growth factors comprising Angiopoietins-1, -2, and -3, all of which bind the TEK Receptor Tyrosine Kinase. Angiopoietin/TEK Receptor Tyrosine Kinase signaling is involved in survival and migration of endothelial cells and regulates vascular remodeling and maintenance of vascular integrity. Angiopoietin/TEK Receptor Tyrosine Kinase signaling is also required for lymphangiogenesis. Family members bind TEK Receptor Tyrosine Kinase as multimeric clusters but their oligomerization properties differ from one another and this is thought to provide a mechanistic basis for their distinct physiologic roles.

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Angpt4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
