Preparation and Storage

Background: Angiopoietin-like Protein 4/ANGPTL4

ANGPTL4, also known as PPAR gamma angiopoietin-related protein (PGAR), hepatic fibrinogen/angiopoietin-related protein (HFARP) and fasting-induced adipose factor (FIAF), is a secreted protein that shares structural homology with angiopoietins. It contains an N-terminal coiled-coil region that mediates covalent homo-oligomerization and a C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain. ANGPTL4 undergoes proteolytic processing and releases the C-terminal domain, which circulates as a monomer. At least 2 additional splice isoforms exist. ANGPTL4 is most highly expressed in adipose tissues. Its expression is up-regulated in endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes during hypoxia. ANGPTL4 is involved in the regulation of lipid and glucose metabolism. It has also been associated with angiogenesis. The amino acid sequence of human ANGPTL4 is 81%, 76% and 81% identical to that of porcine, mouse and canine ANGPTL4, respectively.
