Anti-ANGPTL3

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Angiopoietin-Like 3, also known as ANGPT5, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the ANGPTL3 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the angiopoietin-like family of secreted factors. By radiation hybrid mapping and the use of surrounding genes, Conklin et al.(1999) mapped the gene to chromosome 1p31. It is predominantly expressed in the liver, and has the characteristic structure of angiopoietins, consisting of a signal peptide, N-terminal coiled-coil domain and the C-terminal fibrinogen(FBN)-like domain. Angptl3 also acts as dual inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase(LPL) and endothelial lipase(EL), and increases plasma triglyceride and HDL cholesterol in rodents. ANGPTL3 inhibit endothelial lipase to catalyze HDL-phospholipid and increase HDL-PL levels.
