  • Cell membrane
  • Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cell junction . Cell junction, focal adhesion . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Secreted . Note=Recruited to cell-cell contacts in quiescent endothelial cells (PubMed:18425119, PubMed:18425120). Colocalizes with the actin cytoskeleton and at actin stress fibers during cell spreading. Recruited to the lower surface of migrating cells, especially the rear end of the cell. Proteolytic processing gives rise to a soluble extracellular domain that is secreted (PubMed:11806244). .

    Studies

    • biochemical: NVS_ENZ_hTie2, is one of one assay component(s) measured or calculated from the NVS_ENZ_hTie2 assay. It is designed to make measurements of enzyme activity, a form of enzyme reporter, as detected with fluorescence intensity signals by Fluorescence and electrophoretic mobility shift technology.
