Human Angiopoietin-like Protein 3/ANGPTL3 Antibody [Biotin]

Angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3), also known as angiopoietin-5, is a secreted, hepatic angiopoietin-like glycoprotein that is structurally related to angiopoietins. Human ANGPTL3 contains an N‑terminal heparin-binding motif, a coiled-coil domain (CCD) that mediates the formation of non-covalent higher-order oligomers, and a C‑terminal fibrinogen-like domain that binds integrin  alpha _v beta ₃. In vivo, ANGPTL3 is proteolytically cleaved between the CCD and the fibrinogen-like domain, generating an N‑terminal fragment that retains the inhibitory activity on lipoprotein lipase and a C‑terminal fragment that can induce angiogenesis. Full length and cleaved ANGPTL3 circulate in plasma. Mature human ANGPTL3 shares 76% and 83% aa sequence identity with mouse and porcine ANGPTL3, respectively.
