Identification of a Mammalian Angiopoietin-Related Protein Expressed Specifically in Liver
Abstract
Based on searches of EST databases for signal sequences and amphipathic helices, we have identified and cloned an angiopoietin-like gene, ANGPTL3. Multiple tissue Northern blots show that ANGPTL3 is expressed principally in the liver. ANGPTL3 is expressed early during liver development, and expression is maintained in adult liver. Human ANGPTL3 is a 460-amino-acid polypeptide with the characteristic structure of angiopoietins: a signal peptide, an extended helical domain predicted to form dimeric or trimeric coiled-coils, a short linker peptide, and a globular fibrinogen homology domain (FHD). Murine ANGPTL3 is a 455-acid polypeptide encoded by seven exons on mouse chromosome 4, spanning about 11 kb of DNA. ANGPTL3 contains the four conserved cysteines implicated in the intramolecular disulfide bonds within the FHD, but it does not contain two other cysteines that are found within the FHD of angiopoietins 1, 2, and 4. ANGPTL3 also does not contain the characteristic calcium binding motif found in the other angiopoietins. By radiation hybrid mapping and the use of surrounding genes, human ANGPTL3 maps to the 1p31 region.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
