Angiopoietin-2

Angiopoietin-2 is a protein involved in blood vessel regulation. It plays a key role in how blood vessels grow, weaken, or become more permeable. Angiopoietin-2 can either support or destabilize blood vessels depending on the context, such as in wound healing or diseases like cancer. In healthy conditions, it helps remodel blood vessels when needed, but in illness, excess Angiopoietin-2 can contribute to vessel leakage and inflammation, impacting disease progression. Understanding its function is important for developing treatments for conditions involving abnormal blood vessel behavior.
