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 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees 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.
