Background: The angiopoietins are a family of growth factors that are specific for vascular endothelium. The full-length cDNA encoding angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) from a human fetal liver/spleen cDNA library has 460-amino acid and 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-like domain (FLD). Human ANGPTL3 shares 76% amino acid sequence identity with mouse Angptl3. Northern blot analysis of human tissues showed a preferential expression of 4 ANGPTL3 transcripts being 4.5, 3.0, 2.8, and 1.7 kb in liver. ANGPTL3 can induce angiogenesis in the rat corneal assay. The FLD alone was sufficient to induce endothelial cell adhesion and in vivo angiogenesis. Microarray analysis showed that mouse hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)-supportive fetal liver CD3-positive cells expressed Angptl2 and Angptl3. The ANGPTL3 ELISA Kit is to be used for the in vitro quantitative determination of mouse/ rat ANGPTL3 in biological fluids. This assay is a sandwich Enzyme Linked-Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for quantitative determination of mouse or rat ANGPTL3 in biological fluids. A polyclonal antibody specific for ANGPTL3 has been precoated onto the 96-well microtiter plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells for binding to the coated antibody. After extensive washing to remove unbound compounds, ANGPTL3 is recognized by the addition of a biotinylated polyclonal antibody specific for ANGPTL3 (Detection Antibody). After removal of excess biotinylated antibody, HRP labeled streptavidin (Detector) is added. Following a final washing, peroxidase activity is quantified using the substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The intensity of the color reaction is measured at 450 nm after acidification and is directly proportional to the concentration of ANGPTL3 in the samples. The assay range is 0.016 - 1 ng/ml ANGPTL3/ml. The lowest level of ANGPTL3 that can be detected by this assay is 15 pg/ml.

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of a family of secreted proteins that function in angiogenesis. The encoded protein, which is expressed predominantly in the liver, is further processed into an N-terminal coiled-coil domain-containing chain and a C-terminal fibrinogen chain. The N-terminal chain is important for lipid metablism, while the C-terminal chain may be involved in angiogenesis. Mutations in this gene cause familial hypobetalipoproteinemia type 2.

Uniprot Description
ANGPTL3: Defects in ANGPTL3 are the cause of familial hypobetalipoproteinemia type 2 (FHBL2); also called combined hypobetalipoproteinemia familial. FHBL2 is a disorder of lipid metabolism characterized by less than 5th percentile age- and sex-specific levels of low density lipoproteins, and dietary fat malabsorption. Affected individuals present with combined hypolipidemia, consisting of extremely low plasma levels of LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides.

Product Notes
The ANGPTL3 angptl3 (Catalog #AAA843391) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "ANGPTL3, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
