Short description: Family of proteins

The Angiopoietin-like proteins are proteins structurally like the angiopoietins[1] but which do not bind to the angiopoietin receptors.

Also known as the Angiopoietin-related proteins.

Members

  • Angiopoietin-related protein 1, gene ANGPTL1
  • Angiopoietin-related protein 2, gene ANGPTL2
  • Angiopoietin-related protein 3, gene ANGPTL3
  • Angiopoietin-related protein 4, gene ANGPTL4
  • Angiopoietin-related protein 5, gene ANGPTL5, mainly expressed in adult human heart.[1]
  • Angiopoietin-related protein 6, gene ANGPTL6, associations with components of metabolic syndrome.[1]
  • Angiopoietin-related protein 7, gene ANGPTL7
  • Angiopoietin-related protein 8, gene ANGPTL8, also known as lipasin because of its capacity in LPL inhibition.[1]
