21687 Q02858 TIE2_MOUSE Angiopoietin-1 receptor (EC 2.7.10.1) (Endothelial tyrosine kinase) (HYK) (STK1) (Tunica interna endothelial cell kinase) (Tyrosine kinase with Ig and EGF homology domains-2) (Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor TEK) (Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor TIE-2) DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE Embryonically lethal. Embryos die at about 10 dpc, due to strongly decreased numbers of blood vessel endothelial cells, leading to severe hemorrhaging, and due to defects in heart trabeculae development. Mice display a general malformation of the vascular network with defective sprouting and dilated blood vessels. Conditional by inversion allele knockout mice don't have Schlemm's canal. Haploinsufficient mice developed a severely hypomorphic Schlemm's canal with convolutions and focal narrowing (PubMed:27270174). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27270174, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7596437, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7958865}.
