Anti-Angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3, ANGPT5)

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 alphavbeta3. 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. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:8000, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
