Background Information
Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4), a member of the angiopoietin-like protein subfamily, is a secretory protein that functions as an important modulator of glucose and lipid metabolism. ANGPTL4 inhibits lipoprotein lipase (LPL)-dependent lipolysis thereby limiting the uptake of free fatty acids. Overexpression of ANGPTL4 results in hypertriglyceridemia, while ANGPTL4 deficiency suppresses foam formation in macrophages and protects against atherosclerosis. ANGPTL4 may play a role in several cancers and it also has been shown to prevent the metastatic process by inhibiting vascular activity as well as tumor cell motility and invasiveness. Decreased expression of this protein has been associated with type 2 diabetes. ANGPTL4 has three isoforms, 45 kDa, 41 kDa and 27 kDa.
