Tie receptor

TIE receptors are specialized proteins found on the surface of certain cells, primarily involved in blood vessel development and repair. They are part of a communication system that helps the body form new blood vessels (a process called angiogenesis) by receiving signals from other molecules. When these signals bind to TIE receptors, they trigger responses inside the cell that promote growth and organization of blood vessels. This process is essential for healing wounds, supporting tissue growth, and maintaining healthy blood flow. Overall, TIE receptors act as key sensors and responders in the body’s vascular system.
