The Role of Angiopoietin-Like Proteins in Angiogenesis and Metabolism

Hato, Tai, Tabata, Mitsuhisa, Oike, Yuichi·2008·Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine

Abstract

Recently, a family of proteins structurally similar to the angiogenic regulating factors angiopoietins was identified and designated "angiopoietin-like proteins" (Angptls). Encoded by seven genes, Angptls 1 to 7 all possess an N-terminal coiled-coil domain and a C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain, both characteristic of angiopoietins. However, Angptls do not bind to either the angiopoietin receptor Tie2 or the related protein Tie1 and remain orphan ligands. Nonetheless, Angptls 1, 2, 3, 4, and Angptl6/angiopoietin-related growth factor function to regulate angiogenesis. Angptls 3, 4, and Angptl6/angiopoietin-related growth factor also appear to directly regulate lipid, glucose, and energy metabolism independently of angiogenic effects. Recently, several lines of evidence reveal differential roles of Angptl structural domains in both angiogenesis and metabolism. Here, we briefly review what is currently known about Angptls function.

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.
