Angiopoietin-like Protein 3/ANGPTL3: Luminex Assays

Angiopoietin-like Protein 3 (ANGPTL3) is a secreted glycoprotein that is primarily expressed in the liver. Full length ANGPTL3 circulates in the plasma as do the proteolytically separated N- and C-terminal fragments containing the coiled coil domain and fibrinogen-like domains, respectively. ANGPTL3 directly inhibits lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and endothelial lipase (EL), enzymes responsible for hydrolyzing circulating triglycerides and HDL phospholipids. It promotes an increase in circulating ...
